tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
 

Hi all,
I am using tar to backup my system
tar -zcvf full-backup.`date +%Y-%m-%d`.tar.gz / --exclude /tmp --exclude /dev --exclude /proc --exclude /mnt
but getting this error message:
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

could you help me resolve the problem? thank you.

My system is RHAS 4.0

There is another error above that message. That is the error it is referring to when it says delayed from "previous errors". We need to know the error that the message is referencing.

Thank you very much ,AlbinoJap.
The problem have resolved.
