Re: "tar --one-file-system" accesses remote file systems

When I run "tar -czlvf backup ." in my home directory (/home/matseitz) ,
"tar" accesses a subdirectory (/home/matseitz/sjc-filer03a) that mounts a
remote CIFS share. This problem and a proposed solution was mentioned in an
earlier e'mail (http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/1998-09/msg00839.html). Is
there a known solution to this issue?
You can check recent (and not so recent) email archives on the subject. As
I recall, it depends on your server and it's version. Older versions or FAT
file-systems have their inodes "faked". This may be the cause of the
problem you're seeing.
