- It does support the u option. Use it with the numeric argument to specify
- the device you want to tar to. Have a look at /etc/default/tar. Here is
- how it looks on my system:
-
- # @(#) def96.src 22.1 89/11/14
- # device block size tape
- archive0=/dev/rfd048ds9 18 360 n
- archive1=/dev/rfd148ds9 18 360 n
- archive2=/dev/rfd096ds15 10 1200 n
- archive3=/dev/rfd196ds15 10 1200 n
- archive4=/dev/rfd096ds9 18 720 n
- archive5=/dev/rfd196ds9 18 720 n
- archive6=/dev/rfd0135ds18 18 1440 n
- archive7=/dev/rfd1135ds18 18 1440 n
- archive8=/dev/rct0 20 0 y
- archive9=/dev/rctmini 20 0 y
- # The default device in the absence of a numeric or "-f device" argument
- archive=/dev/rfd096ds15 10 1200 n
-
- When you enter
-
- tar uv2 whatever
-
- you will see the u option work for /dev/rfd096ds15.
- Also your other problem should have gone.
- Have a look at "man tar", especially for the e, k, and b options,
- in case you want to override your default entries.
