Hi ,

I have 3 file system. / , /usr and /var.

I'm trying to backup them using tar command like this : find / -xdev -exec tar cvf root.tar {} ;

According to above commond , since i have mentioned '-xdev' for find, find should list files and dir related to '/' file system only.

If i try only " find / -xdev" , this list files and dir as expected.That is it lists only files within '/' File system.

But when i use tar within find,i'm getting /usr and /var tared too !!

How could i solve this ?
