Depending on your release, there are couple of options.
1. You can use find -xdev option and feed it to tar utility via pipe and xargs.
This should be quite portable solution, the internet is full of examples.
2. On newer releases (11 and on), gnu tar is (probably) installed and can be invoked as gtar.
Also, other gnu utilities can be invoked with g prefix (gfind gsed ..)
Please, if you ask questions on this forum, you will get much more precise answers by specifying your operating system version and shell you are using.
So if I had two mount points /export and /export/home and I only wanted to tar the stuff in export (And subdirectories) but NOT /export/home then find -mount would work?

I think that, assuming you have a root filesystem (/), a /export, and a /export/home all as individual filesystems, then I reckon so.
Basically, look at it like this. The -mount switch restricts 'find' to the filesystem of the directory that you are currently in. Therefore, you would need to:
Give that a go on Solaris 9. Tell me if I'm wrong.

Of course, unless the /export filesystem contains other mount points to lower levels, what I wrote above would just work anyway without the '-mount'. It just creates a relative path backup which can therefore be restored to anywhere on the system you choose (which is good practice).

Just for the sake of argument, -xdev option is in the standards, while -mount is not.
If you take a look at the find manuals from solaris, hpux, aix, linux etc. you will find that -xdev is the common denominator for not traversing filesystems in unix or unix like operating system.
Hi,
What are the types of mount points available in Linux machine and how to find
what type of mount point is configured in my linux machine?
Is mount point otherwise called as file system or do they have different meaning ?

hi,
I believe a mount point does not have to be a physical disk, but rather a logical one? Is this correct? if so, how can I find out if my mount points are on different physical disks?
thanks (9 Replies)
When taking a snap, I have a script that stops any active snap. When running the script, I'm getting a message that u02 and u04 are already mounted.
How can I find out what process(es) is/are latching on the these mount points?
Thank you for your time. (1 Reply)
