I'm trying to append a directory structure to an existing tar archive. The following works for creating an archive without any problems:
tar cfp test.tar --no-recursion --from-files <(find /var/lib/postfix /var/spool/postfix -type d) If I add the A or --catenate option then I receive an error: tar pf test.tar --catenate --no-recursion --files-from <(find /var/lib/postfix/ /var/spool/postfix/ -type d) tar: /var/lib/postfix: Read error at byte 0, while reading 4096 bytes: Is a directory tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now Any ideas or am I barking up the wrong tree here? If it's not possible I can think of other means to the same end, this just seems like the most efficient method for what I'm looking to do. Thanks
