tar handles special files in /dev properly.Don't bet your life on it. GNU Tar (tm) will work most of the time on most systems (read: non-linux), but NEVER assume tar will read device entries correctly. (cpio is the "correct" tool. dump is the Correct Tool (tm).)
Whatever. My problem is with RAID-6, not tar. -jim
