Hi,

I want to tar my whole / directory.

I do 
        tar cvfz  test.tar.gz /
and afterwards trying to untar the directory I receive the error-message:
        tar::Cannot mkdir: No such file or directory

Typing tar tf test.tar the list shows me:

/
/boot
/root
[...]

I do not understand why tar is adding the first entry "/" to the archieve
and I cannot find a way how to prevent tar from doing this.

Oliver
