[Bug-tar] FW: --one-file-system => not works !

[Piater, Rastislav]

Hello,

 

I found it.

So it means you have bug in man page after change below ...

 

====

Use of short option -l
    Earlier versions of GNU tar understood -l option as a synonym for --one-file-system. Since such usage contradicted to UNIX98 specification and harmed compatibility with other implementation, it was declared deprecated in version 1.14. However, to facilitate transition to its new semantics, it was supported by versions 1.15 and 1.15.90. The present use of -l as a short variant of --check-links was introduced in version 1.15.91.

Hello Gnu,

 

I used -l switch very often in the past, because it is very useful to make root fs backup.

I found that this switch not work anymore. 

I don't know wrom which version, but I test latest tar version 1.19 and still same problem.

 

       -l, --one-file-system
              stay in local file system when creating an archive

 

Please fix that bug, it is very important.

And please send me some feedback.

 

Regards and thanks,

Rasto.
