Re: ACLs in inode #bla won't be dumped

Well, I guess I'm convinced to try out tar, but not to play the devil's
advocate, I'm just curious...
I don't (didn't) use tar at Purdue, in general, because it

Why is this such a bad thing? If we suppose that (1) crashes do not
occur often, so recovering is really an extreme situation, and (2) just
having the data is "good enough", why would access times and the like
matter so much?
Our workaround was to use a GNU tar wrapper (2000+ lines of

Is something that is publicly available? If so, where could I find this?
Thank you!!
