In F/U to the Thread's title, when I tried to write the encryped tar.gz to my 16GB usb thumb drive I noticed the tar.gz was consitently the same 4GB size, even after I had added content. A little seaching found that 4GB is a file size limitation for vfat/msdos file systems. I got around it by reformating the entire drive as ufs. Since I'm dedicating the drive to Backup of my main OpenBSD workstation, I get the added benefit, in case of loss/theft, that the file system is not friendly to Windows users.
