I don't think star is present when you boot in rescue mode,
making it difficult to do a bare metal recovery of the system.
If you make the star archive GNU tar compatible, you combine the
convenience of creation using star and the compatibility with tar during
rescue mode.
I use star to back up an ACL enabled ext3 /home partition. I had
to make this a separate partition so that I could:
1. restore /boot and / from rescue mode with tar.
2. boot.
3. restore /home with star.
