- Thanks for the explaination. I miscorrectly interpreted that files for
- which "@LongLink" was reported were not backed up. It surely is a strange
- way to report an error to say "././@LongLink" instead of some more
- explicit message. Thanks a lot to everyone who responded. Also, if some
- people are using the backup scripts 1.03 from sunsite.unc.edu and found in
- /pub/Linux/system/backup, to make them work with executor filesystems,
- change this line in ~/afioscripts/makebackup:
-
- if (exec (P_NOCHECK, "awk", "'{print $1}'", listfile,
-
- to:
-
- if (exec (P_NOCHECK, "awk -F \" CT:\" ", "'{print $1}'", listfile,
-
- This fixed my backup problem and therefore, I don't care as much about GNU
- tar and executor filesystems anymore.. :)
