FYI: in RHEL 6 `/dev` is already a mountpoint (devtmpfs). Even in RHEL 5 (which we do not care about anymore), it is a mountpoint (tmpfs). @jsmeix I suggest that...

In skel/default/etc/scripts/boot we have this: ``` udev_version=$(udevd --version) if [[ "$udev_version" -gt 175 ]]; then ### udev > 175 needs devtmpfs mountpoint /dev || mount -t devtmpfs none /dev fi...

On RHEL 7 there is no `udevd` anymore: ``` # udevd --version bash: udevd: command not found ``` so, how does `/dev` get mounted in the recovery system, if at...

I believe this is due to the redirection of stdout from the backup program. The output, including the progress info, can be found in ${TMP_DIR}/${BACKUP_PROG_ARCHIVE}.log : https://github.com/rear/rear/blob/0bd84e259c7c61612a1d8eb296ee1e81a2cbc87b/usr/share/rear/backup/RSYNC/default/500_make_rsync_backup.sh#L55 I understand that...

Hi @jsmeix, sorry for having missed this issue, I will have a look, but not soon - I currently have other priorities unfortunately.

Interesting. What about `findmnt /tmp/test-nfs-tar/nfs.mountpoint` ? It has a better parseable output than `mount`, and it returns exit code `1` when the argument is not a mountpoint.

maybe some time-limited cache was in play?

> Maybe ReaR `NETFS` backup should simply exclude by default all network filesystems? I believe it already does, no? `--one-file-system` excludes everything that is not explicitly included. And network filesystems,...

@schlomo I suppose that you mean explicit exclusion via `BACKUP_PROG_EXCLUDE` in addition to the implicit exclusion provided by `--one-file-system`. How to reliably determine the list of mountpoints though? I am...
