Hi,

 When I use tar to make backups in amanda, I see things like this in the
logs, 

runtar XXX02 /bin/tar --create --file /dev/null --directory /xxxxx/yyyy
--one-file-system
--listed-incremental /var/lib/amanda/gnutar-lists/xxxxx/yyyy_0.new
--sparse --xattrs --ignore-failed-read --totals .

Is there any way to change these options in tar ? for example If I
don't want gnutar to use --sparse --xattrs options how can I change
this ?

Thanks,
ND
