Jean-Louis posted a patch there recently to fix the NFS detection, which goes halfway to fixing the problem, and proposed a complete fix. I think we should start a letter-writing campaign in support of his patch: everyone who's been following this issue, please head over to bug-tar and make some noise. http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-tar -- subscribe http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2008-03/msg00023.html -- Jean-Louis' patch post http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg01767.html -- Jordan Desroche's post google can help you find some more posts.
