Re: gnutar options (indexs and the dreaded big numbers)
On Tue, 23 Oct 2001 at 9:56am, Frank Smith wrote What options does Amanda call tar with? I would like to be able to verify that a tar build works correctly without waiting to run a backup (i.e., tar a directory to /dev/null creating the index file and then examine the index to see if it worked correctly). The list of options are in /tmp/amanda/sendbackup*debug (if you're currently using tar). -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
