I was looking at "info tar", "man tar", and "tar --help", but could
not find documentation for the gnu tar exit codes. I am getting an
exit code of 512 upon creating an 8.9GB tar archive (of my main
partition), but I do not think it overflowed the filesystem (ext3),
nor do I see any other error in the created archive. (generated by
tar -clf). still, trusting my data backups to tar, I would want to be
able to check whether everything went alright. should I be concerned?
help appreciated. /iaw
