That all depends on whether you are up on your patches. I went and
checked my Solaris 10 system and found:

That is the gnutar release from 3/09, and the only newer one is 1.23
from 3/10. But, I had done an upgrade late last year (using liveupdate
and the 5/09 release), and have also applied the latest recommended and
security patch bundles within the last few months. So, I have
# more /etc/release

All of which means, check what your system actually has (and keep it up
to date).

You need version with --no-check-device in order to backup snapshot in zfs. So
get the latest version of SMCtar
and it should work fine.

Uh-oh .. time to open a Sun^WOracle support case? It looks like a bug
either in ZFS or GNU Tar..

Have you every tried star. I though I would give it a shot and see if it work
ok at least until I can get the GNU tar working.
