I suspect that it has something to do with device numbers in ZFS snapshots, where gnutar will interpret a changed device number as indicating a changed file -- with the result that the entire partition seems to have changed. Newer gnutar versions have an option to ignore device numbers -- see the amgtar(8) manpage for details. Dustin -- Open Source Storage Engineer http://www.zmanda.com
