You wanna point out the obvious part?

It's the part where you understand the basics of how files are stored on your filesystems, understand how GNU tar / GNU cpio work, and avoid assuming (without confirmation) that those tools perform special functions, there, that they carry out nowhere else on the planet.

Khendon's Law duly invoked. Va t'en.

Indeed, Chuckles. I was addressing the UFS/FFS topic at hand, which does not necessarily mean "answering your questions". You have perhaps confused me with some paid sidekick.

Now, run along.
