Hi all,
Working under SOLARIS 5.6 i'm trying to GNUtar the content of a whole
dir BUT one subdir.
Assuming the following
/my/main/dir/subdir1
..................../subdir2
..................../subdir3
..................../subdir4
I'd like to GNUtar /my/main/dir with all subdirs BUT subdir1
I tried
# tar -c -v -z -P -f /tmp/backup.tgz -X /tmp/exclude.tar /my/main/dir
-P to keep leading "/"
-X pointing to the file containing the files to exclude
# cat /tmp/exclude.tar
/my/main/dir/subdir1/*
#
The command achieve with no errors, but subdir1 and all included in keep
on archiving !!!
I tried modifying the content of /tmp/exclude.tar as
my/main/dir/* - that is no leading / -
BUT the result is the same.
Any help welcome.
JLB :-)
