Hello, I'm evaluating arch (tla) to see if it is suitable for my very non-standard purpose. I don't want to archive code, per se. I want to archive a linux distribution, ie: '/' and everything underneath it. I think the main problem is how to handle 'special' files such as block/character devices, fifos, etc. It uses tar internally, right, which is certainly capable of managing devices files and such.
It looks like arch is not inherently capable of handling these special kinds of files, but I thought I'd ask anyway: Is there any way to use arch to handle this? Does anyone know of a (clean) workaround to handle this? -JE _______________________________________________ Gnu-arch-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-arch-users GNU arch home page: http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnu-arch/
