using tar for files larger than 2GB

what is the command line for using tar to spliting tar file as 1gb each.

I know multiple volume (-M) to be used, but didn't get that working.

I tried tar -L 100000 -Mcf test.tar /usr

but it is prompt me to continue and if i type 'y' then it continue but make no files. except the first one. what I am doing wrong here?
