    I just upgraded from Suse 8.1 to Suse 10. I use tar to backup
    my files. Under 10 tar behaves differently. I do a date-based
    backup using the --newer option. Under 8.1 the files skipped
    where not listed to stderr, under 10 they are!! Is this a
    design change to tar?

    My tar command...

    tar --create \
        --gzip \
        --newer-mtime=11/02/2005\
        --file=/home/matts/tmp/backup/backup.tgz \
        MyStuff public_html

    Under Suse 10 all files older than 11/02/2005 are being
    displayed. This appear to slow the process down. I have to
    use a stderr redirect to prevent the errors from being
    displayed...

    2> /home/matts/tmp/backup/error.txt

    What can I do to prevent the skipped files from being listed?

    Thanks, Matt
