Using the -G option of tar 1.4 causes the "-X file" option to not work. If my omit file contains: /tmp/* and I run: tar -c -X omitfile / then the files in /tmp are not put on the tape. but if I run: tar -c -G -X omitfile / then the files in /tmp are put on the tape. -- Jim Roche University of Rochester Computer Science Department Rochester, NY 14627 ARPA: roche@cs.rochester.edu UUCP: rochester!roche
