Hi everybody
As the title says I wonder if the usual (in my case Ubuntu 14.04 LTS) linux installation root does in fact uses any of the ACLs possible extensions in any of its files/dirs
I ask this because I usually use tar to backup the entire root (in offline) with a command like this (root mode):
# tar -cpS --numeric-owner --anchored --exclude={dev,proc,sys,run,tmp}/\* !(lost+found) | pigz > /mydir/myroot.tar.gz
But lately I have "surfed" the ACL argument and reading the fact that tar doesn't read them I wonder if in fact the regular linux install scenario really uses them or not.
So I would not need any alternative to tar, which I would like to avoid if I can...
Anyway I need to store the FS in a file, so rsync isn't an option.
Thank you
