bzip2 question

[Olt, Joseph]

Jeff,

Bzip2 is a compression format.  A single file is compressed.  If there are multiple files, then it is probably a tar.bz2 file.  So you will need to uncompress it and add files to the tar file then recompress it.

$ bunzip2 file.tar.bz2
$ tar rf file.tar anotherfile
$ bzip2 file.tar

Sorry for the basic question.  I am still getting up to speed after taking over our linux admin role.  I have a file that I need to add to an existing bz2 file.  How do I do that?

Thanks,

Jeff
