With the tar included with 2.2.X, I get the following errors if I enter : bastian:/# tar -czf /dev.tar.gz /dev tar: Removing leading / from absolute path names in the archive. tar: /dev/wd0s3: minor number too large; not dumped tar: /dev/rwd0s3: minor number too large; not dumped tar: /dev/wd0s4: minor number too large; not dumped tar: /dev/rwd0s4: minor number too large; not dumped tar: /dev/wd1s3: minor number too large; not dumped tar: /dev/rwd1s3: minor number too large; not dumped tar: /dev/wd1s4: minor number too large; not dumped tar: /dev/rwd1s4: minor number too large; not dumped tar: /dev/wd2s3: minor number too large; not dumped tar: /dev/rwd2s3: minor number too large; not dumped tar: /dev/wd2s4: minor number too large; not dumped tar: /dev/rwd2s4: minor number too large; not dumped tar: /dev/wd3s3: minor number too large; not dumped tar: /dev/rwd3s3: minor number too large; not dumped tar: /dev/wd3s4: minor number too large; not dumped tar: /dev/rwd3s4: minor number too large; not dumped tar: Removing leading / from absolute links tar: /dev/sd0s3: minor number too large; not dumped etc ... I think the tar *really should* be upgraded in /usr/bin ! Something like that is really ugly, a unix that can't backup it's own files ... something like that I only know from M$ ... > The latest tar is currently being vetted-out in the ports system. ;-) What do you mean exactly with "vetted-out" ? I don't know the meaning of it, sorry, my english isn't good enough ... > No. What do you want that more(1) doesn't have, anyways? > To page back. Less(1) has more as it's name ;) Martin -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Martin Blapp, (blapp@attic.ch) Attic Internet Services, Bechburgstrasse 8, 4702 Oensingen, Switzerland Phone: +41 62 396 43 70, Fax: +41 62 396 43 72 PGP fingerprint: 4E96 1AE8 4AA6 AB40 1AD6 DB42 7623 995D 522A 1D38 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Public key available at: http://www.attic.ch/pgp-public.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
