If tar were used for backup of not just cygwin files, but the windows partitions as well, would all file attributes be preserved and restored on extraction? I'm guessing not, thinking the tarball might then be incompatible with non-cygwin gnutar. But I've been wrong before. Being a windows weanie, and hoping to stay that way, I'm not even certain what extended attributes are and how to check empirically for an answer. I did not see any thing in the tar info or the nt security docs to guide me. -- Jon H.
