Using your example works as expected. RELENG_8, and RELENG_9 use short-hand; tar -cvJ --options xz:9 Why/when the change to long-hand? Seems a shame. Now I get to modify all my scripts, and such. :P Altho I don't suppose it'd be a big deal to back out (revert) the changes made to tar(1). :) Thank you, very much, Peter.
