Ok, when I try and use --format=pax in my production backups they all
fail with:
tar: GNU features wanted on incompatible archive format
So it appears I use an option that using --format=pax does not like.
Where can I find what tar options are ok with --format=pax and what
options are not?
And if I can't remove an option that is not compatible with
--format=pax, what other way do I have using tar to overcome the
original file name length problem on spanned volumes?

I was hoping you would have documented the NTFS/NFSv4 ACL
support you were recently working on. Do you have examples
of that yet?
No, not yet. My first preference is to publish star-1.5 and then
implement the NTFS/NFSv4 ACL support. The textual format for
the ACL entries has been negotiated with Sun and the implementation
should be already in libsec. For the high level part (e.g. whether
I need to intruduce something like SCHILY.acl.acltype), I am not ready
with my decisions. I expect to add the code in early 2008.
Those that are interested in such things may also find some
useful info in the tar.5 manpage distributed with bsdtar/libarchive
and included in all recent FreeBSD releases:

Thank you for this pointer!
