Thanks to Charles R. Oldham who pointed me to the right direction regarding mounting an OS/2-file-system from a Unix-machine. The trick is to specify "rsize=4096" on the Unix-side as OS/2-NFSD presently has a limit of 4096 bytes (I was not aware of it and I did not find that in the manuals). Now at least I can mount the OS/2-drives from a Unix-machine such that a tar on the Unix-side is possible. Still, I am dreadful missing an EA-aware tar in IBM's TCP/IP-package as one finds in the FTP-package (at least for the DOS-version). I would expect it to be much faster than the present awkward solution (one has to run EABACKUP and SHOWINI first, then backup; in case of a restore one needs to run EARESTORE and SHOWINI) - writing to an OS/2-HPFS-filesystem from the Unix side seems to be extremely slow. ---rony
