====== How to extract tar.bz2 files ======

GNU tar supports a -j flag, which allows extraction of tar.bz2 files without a pipeline:

<code>tar -xvjf archivefile.tar.bz2</code>

----

Inside DSM-G600 you can't use -j flag, so there you must use a pipeline:
<code>/mnt/HD_a2/bzcat archivefile.tar.bz2 | /mnt/HD_a2/tar -xvf -</code>
//bzcat is symlink to bzip2.//

----

In windows you can use number of different software to extract tar.bz2 files:
