Hi, I'm having issues with GNU tar's handling of one-file-system.
It's similar but not quite the same bug as reported last year at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg02141.html I just compiled the latest stable release (1.25) and this is the test I am doing: (in a clean directory) $ mkdir a $ echo test > a/b $ tar -cvf test.tar --one-file-system -g test.info a a/ Notice that it only adds the folder 'a' to the archive, but not the file 'a/b'. It's as though it's treating the files below 'a' as a separate file system or something? More concerning is that no errors are reported here; it just silently fails to archive the files in 'a'. >From the documentation on --one-file-system: "If this option is used in conjunction with ‘--verbose’ (‘-v’), files that are excluded are mentioned by name on the standard error. " So even though 'a/b' was excluded, nothing was mentioned. I appreciate you looking into this. Best regards, Kieran Clancy.
