If a previous attempt to extract files failed due to lack of disk
space, you can use --starting-file=name (-K name) to start extracting only
after member name of the archive. This assumes, of course, that
there is now free space, or that you are now extracting into a
different file system. (You could also choose to suspend tar,
remove unnecessary files from the file system, and then restart the
same tar operation. In this case, --starting-file=name (-K name) is
not necessary. See section Using tar to Perform Incremental Dumps, See section Asking for Confirmation During Operations,
and section Excluding Some Files.)
