That's why I suggested the --one-filesystem option with tar (the dar |
| 11 |
equivalent is --no-mount-points --empty-dir). This archives only the |
| 12 |
specified filesystem, which includes the mount points, but not anything |
| 13 |
mounted on them. So /dev, /proc, /sys and anything else, including |
| 14 |
anything mounted under /mnt or /media, are automatically skipped. |
