Nearline is intended for use with relatively large files and should not be used for a large number of small files. In fact, files smaller than a certain threshold size may not be moved to tape at all. Files smaller than ~200MB should be combined into archive files (tarballs) using tar or a similar tool. Files larger than 300GB should be split in chunks of 100GB using the split command or a similar tool.
