harddrive has 2 partitions: / and /home. tarred /home to
home.tgz and while tarring / recieved:
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
the last file shown was the home.tgz file in / before it
crashed.
cleaning things up and moving home.tgz off of /
I'll keep everyone posted on the results

It seems to have failed as the file is only 1.2 gigs for
8+gig worth of stuff (compression isn't that good is it?)

Subject: Re: backing up the hard drive
-l would stay in a single file system which would exclude
/proc since it
is a different file system. So you might have to do a
couple of tar
files, first tar any sub file systems you want.
If you have forexample:
/dev/sda1 16476984 4762700 10877300 31% /
/dev/sda5 6476984 762700 877300 xx%
/usr/local
/dev/sda6 6476984 762700 877300 xx%
/var
[root@dual /]#tar czvf var.tgz /var
[root@dual /]#tar czvf usr_local.tgz /usr/local
[root@dual /]#tar tar -czlvf / complete.tgz
This will tar up sda5 and sda6 leaving the tar files on
sda1 then the
final tar will scoop them up into the complete image.
Cheers,

tar.gz the Mandrake drives, minus the proc directory, for
backup purposes, before i wipe it and install RH.
basically, the whole drive in one tar.gz file that I can
copy off the machine in case i might need something.
