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.
