2012-09-12 Thread Mark O'Keefe
The current distributed version of tar (1.25) has bugs in it which prevent it working correctly for backups. This is NOT a cygwin only defect. The defect is upstream and resolved in version 1.26. Refer to bug: http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-tar@gnu.org/msg02999.html For use with amanda backu

UUID support in mount and fstab

2012-09-12 Thread Mark O'Keefe
Hi, I'd like to suggest a possible enhancement to mount and fstab entries to support mounting a path dependent on the usb drive that is attached. I read a thread somewhat related (http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2011-07/msg00367.html) which was rejected, however I think that this is a different ide
