- What's the difference, and does GNUtar care? What should happen if you
- have a SysVr4 and SysVr3 system cross mounted with RFS and use each other's
- tar on the opposite filesystem? (Actually, if you rfs mount a UFS filesystem
- into a SysVr3 machine, find won't recurse down it's directories and make
- won't see anything to be done - is that supposed to happen?)
