So, gnutar and logical device names (/export/home) it is. Thanks. That's
the answer I wanted.

Here's the first few lines:

07256012003/./
07256012003/./TT_DB/
07256012003/./akshay/
07256012003/./akshay/.dt/
07256012003/./akshay/.dt/Desktop/
07256012003/./akshay/.dt/Trash/
07256012003/./akshay/.dt/appmanager/
07256012003/./akshay/.dt/help/
07256012003/./akshay/.dt/help/akshay-elmer-0/
07256012003/./akshay/.dt/icons/

Them's looking like really big numbers. I thought the latest version was
1.13?
