Tar Multiple Volume

need to tar near 10 GB, so I was thinking in do it through the Multiple Volume option.

I write tar -Mcvf home.tar /home but after create a .tar of 2 GB sudelly stop with an error, telling that the file is too large
Somebody told me that this error is because I have to recompile the Kernel with "large file support". Since I'll leave this server I don't want to do that.

Somebody else told me to try with

tar -McvfL home.tar 2000 /home
I tried that and also tar -McvfL 2000 home.tar /home (this create a file called L) and
tar -Mcvf --tape-length=2000 home.tar /home create a file called --tape-length=2000.

Anybody have another Idea of how to do it?

Thanks in advance for your help
