why does gtar delay chown/chmod until end for some files (most notably symlinks it seems), for example if i have a tape with /, /home, /usr/local on it and just want / (which i get by backing it up as ./) i then want to ctrl-c the gtar -x restore after i know it has gone past all of the data i want but then it leaves files as mode 000/root.root
ideally i'ld like to put each file system on a diff file on the tape but that greatly complicates keeping track of the --listed-incremental files _______________________________________________ Bug-tar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-tar
