You don't even want to try and back up the proc fs. Have a look at the size of /proc/kcore.

If there is an option to not cross filesystems then turn that on (like tar -l or find -xdev).

Failing that, use mount to find everywhere that proc and sysfs is mounted and exclude them manually.

Hello John,

I should have known this. I exclude /proc from my backup so I should have figure to do the same for /var/named/chroot/proc.

Thanks,

Eddie
