No, I'm not using that option. Someone suggested that perhaps tar only
handles one partition at a time, but you seem to say that is not the case.

I'm beginning to worrry about the structure of my setup. Here is my
df:
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda6 497829 151450 320677 33% /
/dev/sda1 54416 8963 42644 18% /boot
/dev/sda12 248895 154687 81358 66% /home
/dev/sda9 2016016 935280 978324 49% /info
/dev/sda7 4538124 1879792 2427804 44% /opt
none 515636 0 515636 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda10 1011928 17128 943396 2% /tmp
/dev/sda8 7566400 3531920 3650128 50% /usr
/dev/sda11 497829 134261 337866 29% /var
/dev/sdb1 7906164 3717652 3786892 50% /mnt/storage
/dev/sdc1 39391848 30254364 7136488 81% /mnt/mirror
I guess this is self-explanatory, although I don't know that the
/dev/shm signifies."sdc" is a 40 Gb USB 2.0 external HD with one
partition used to mirror the internal hard disks. The "sdb" is a
single partition hard disk used for storage.
