[Bug-tar] linux-backup-include-empty-swapfile (embedded)

[Michael R. Lawrence CISSP]

https://superuser.com/questions/1214855/linux-backup-include-empty-swapfile


tar -cvJf backup.tar.xz --exclude=/backup.tar.xz --one-file-system /


--emptyfile /var/swapfile   alias EXCLUDE , touch > filename > /var/swapfile
 @ tar.xz (etc)

touching the the swap file crashes tar...  , however a empty placeholder
wanted root owned... , as it needs to be , as its were RPI-3 adds swap ram.

so for this use case just /tmp/something/ touch swapfile add as
/var/swapfile in tar.xz  or append to archive at the path an empty file...
