Yo! Just saw the tar manpage. Could somebody enlighten me about the --preserve option? The manpage says, --preserve == -p -s == --same-permission --same-order, which imho makes little sense. Shouldn't it be --same-permissions --same-owner? texinfo is at least not at odds with this, so it seems it is not a bug. But I can't see a reason for this. And: is there any extended tar version with a --handle-hard-links option? Or does tar by default handle hard links efficiently? cheers -- vbi -- secure email with gpg http://fortytwo.ch/gpg
