Thanks. I really don't need a work-around since I would not normally
back up file-systems that way. I sure hope that nobody thinks that
this observed behavior is correct. We need to understand that this
is a bug.
FYI I normally do `tar -clf` (stay in the same file-system) locally
to a local tape-drive. The information presented was to show the
bug in a repeatable manner.
Cheers,
Dick Johnson
