Hi,

I was trying to tar complete OS.
I did the following: logged in as root from / I typed
tar cvf /export/home/OS.tar ./*
It was working fine, for the first minute and then it was doing the
following:
a ./dev/fd/0 0K
a ./dev/fd/0 0K
a ./dev/fd/0 0K
a ./dev/fd/0 0K
a ./dev/fd/0 0K
a ./dev/fd/0 0K

It took about 4Gb doing that. Anyone has any idea why it couldn't tar
./dev/fd/0 or it was taring it for such a long period.

Anyone might know better way of taring complete OS?

Thanks
