Using absolute paths (as you did) is a really bad idea and '-C /media/sda1' |
| 15 |
before '/media/hda5' will not help you.... |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
-C performs a chdir before processing the next arg |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Useful is something like '-C /media/sda1' "." |

If you like to do backups, you should tell star to archive more meta data |
| 22 |
by using -dump instead of H=exustar. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
-dump includes H=exustar but is more. |

There are several examples in the man page and I still don't know what caused |
| 27 |
your real problems. |

A frequent problem on Linux is that not all files to support a specific feature |
| 30 |
are present or that you first need to activate them. Did you use extended |
| 31 |
attributes with other programs before? |
