I just upgraded from Suse 8.1 to Suse 10. I use tar to backup my files. Under 10 tar behaves differently. I do a date-based backup using the --newer option. Under 8.1 the files skipped where not listed to stderr, under 10 they are!! Is this a design change to tar? My tar command... tar --create \ --gzip \ --newer-mtime=11/02/2005\ --file=/home/matts/tmp/backup/backup.tgz \ MyStuff public_html Under Suse 10 all files older than 11/02/2005 are being displayed. This appear to slow the process down. I have to use a stderr redirect to prevent the errors from being displayed... 2> /home/matts/tmp/backup/error.txt What can I do to prevent the skipped files from being listed? Thanks, Matt
