Hi,
Version: tar (GNU tar) 1.13.17
I am using tar quit a long time, but I think, I have a problem, which I
am unable to solve. But I am not sure, weather it is a bug or a feature.
The problem deals with --exclude="Pattern"
I can exclude patterns, like *~, and also it is possible, to exlude
whole dir-paths, like "etc/vmware"
But the problem is the follwing, ket us suppose if have a mountpoint an
a driectory dir, with datafiles in it.
I can exlude the whole directory, but then I will have to recreate the
directory by hand.
I tried to use dir/* but then all files under dir go into my tar-file.
Is there a way round my problem?
Best regards
