Hmm, I don't quite understand it. Here's a simple experiment: I have a directory dir with the following contents: $ ls -l dir total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 gray staff 0 2006-01-18 14:46 file lrwxrwxrwx 1 gray staff 4 2006-01-18 14:46 link -> file Find shows: $ find dir dir dir/file dir/link Now I create the archive: $ tar cvf archive dir|sed 's,/$,,' dir dir/file dir/link And now I verify its contents: $ tar tf arc|sed 's,/$,,' dir dir/file dir/link All cases (except ls, of course), produce the same output. Am I missing something? Regards, Sergey _______________________________________________ Bug-cpio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-cpio
