Fellow wizards,

While using vrestore recently I found that when a striped file is
restored it isn't striped anymore. This is a pain with large files
(1.5Gb) because when they're not striped these files may not fit on a
single disk. Not to mention the juggling required to restripe the files
by copying (especially on a file system that is approaching capacity).

My questions are:

1) Is there are workaround so a file can be striped as it comes off
tape?

2) Does anyone know of any plans for vrestore to have this feature in
the future?
