The entire root file system and all mounted file systems are archived, with the execption of /tmp, /usr/tmp, and /dev.
Files are selected using the find command with the -local and -mount options, so only file systems on disks physically connected to the OpenServer system are archived. The selected files are archived using pax and compressed using compress.
The archive is written to standard output, unless the -o option is given (see below).
osragent does not do any space checking before creating the archive. Be sure that the file system containing the archived output has enough free space to accomodate the system image.
