Tar help in FreeBSD
I've got a 200MB file, var.tar in the /usr partition that I want to untar into my 300MB /var partition.
I can't copy the file there first and tar -xvf var.tar without running out of room. What is the command to extract the files from the original directory to the destionation? Thanks!

Just go to the /var directory BEFORE unpacking and type this:
tar xvf /usr/var.tar It will unpack to the directory you're currently in.
