-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 [[Archiving and compressing files|tar]] or a similar tool. Files larger than 300GB should be split in chunks of 100GB using the [[Archiving_and_compressing_files#Other_Useful_Utilities|split]] command or a similar tool.
