Hey list, I need another user to archive their /proc so that I can examine the contents to perform some debugging.
Of course this is a special kind of filesystem and a normal tarball generated against /proc will contain a lot of apparently empty files in the generated archive due to the way tar and other GNU utilities, such as cp, attempt to read the files (fine with cat, as an example). Is there a particular argument I should pass to tar to archive the contents of /proc?
