While backing up a FC6 system Gnu tar fails to honour the --one-file-system option with respect to cifs shares mounted from a MS server. There is no problem with other file systems such as for example /boot and /sys. A partial work around is to use --exclude mountpoint for each cifs mount point but this depends on knowing all the cifs mount points in use. Does anone else see this problem? Is there a real fix?
