The title is not as easy as it sounds.... I am trying to exclude and file while ssh and untaring the file on the fly.
The command I am using is... The command typically works but recently I've add the X option along with the exclude file. Essentially, the exclude file is being ignored when run on the fly, as below.
Code:
tar -cvfX - /usr/local/bin/exclude.txt ${var} | ssh ${system} "(cd /zones/${zone}/root; tar xnf -)"
Running the following works all the time....
Code:
tar -cvfX new.tar /usr/local/bin/exclude.txt /export/home
But when adding the ssh along with the exclude file, it fails.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

I have a problem with tar. Taring a folder with a lot of contents, causes the tar to contain hard links to some files, seen with the same name but 0 in size.
The hard links don't exist in the first place. How can I prevent that from happening?

rdiffdir
RDIFFDIR(1) User Manuals RDIFFDIR(1)NAME
rdiffdir - compute and apply signatures and diffs to directories
SYNOPSIS
rdiffdir [options] sig[nature] basis_dir signature_file
rdiffdir [options] delta signature_file new_dir delta_file
rdiffdir [options] patch basis_dir delta_file
rdiffdir [options] tar basis_dir tar_file
If signature_file or delta_file are "-", the data will be read from stdin or written to stdout as appropriate.
DESCRIPTION
rdiffdir is supposed to be like rdiff, but can operate on directories. See rdiff(1) for more information. The syntax is similar.
OPTIONS --write-sig-to sigfile
This option is only used in delta and tar modes. When specified, rdiffdir will write a signature of the directory it is processing
to sigfile. The end result will be a delta and a new signature calculated over the same data.
-z, --gzip-compress
Enable gzip compression and decompression of signature and delta files.
SELECTION OPTIONS
In signature and delta modes, rdiffdir accepts duplicity-like selection options including --exclude, --exclude-filelist-stdin, etc. See
the duplicity(1) manual page for more information.
BUGS
Hard links are currently unsupported (they will be treated as non-linked regular files).
Bad signatures will be treated as empty instead of logging appropriate error message.
