I tried to Tar to dat from a smbmount and use the following,

tar cvf /dev/nst0 *.*

It stopped after about 400mb

Tried it again and it did the same, so i tar'd to the hd such as

tar cvf /usr/Cad12/tartest *.*

and it did the same thing, stopped at about 400mb.

It tar'd one folder and the loose files in the root of where tar was run
from.


So then i did 

tar cvf /dev/nst0 .

and that did the trick

The question is, *.* implies everything, and '.' implies the current
directory. Anybody know why it only did one folder and its contents and
loose files in the root.

The total was about 26 folders and 4.4Gb.

Kenny baby :o)
