Another way would be to use include directives. For example, if the zfs pool was /pool and had file systems of a, b,c, and d, you could set up multiple DLEs that were rooted at /pool (different tag names) and had include directives of "include ./a ./c" and another with "include ./b ./d" While traversing each of the included starting points (directories), tar would never cross a file system boundary. -- Jon H.
