Doesn't help. See below.

# rmdir /var/empty
rmdir: /var/empty: Operation not permitted

# mkdir /fs1/var

# star -c -Hexustar -acl -xfflags -C /var . | star -xp -acl -xfflags -C /fs1/var
star: 'run/log' unsupported file type 'socket'. Not dumped.	<-- Fine, no concern.
star: current './' newer.
star: 68 blocks + 0 bytes (total of 696320 bytes = 680.00k).
star: The following problems occurred during archive processing:
star: Cannot: stat 0, open 0, read/write 0. Size changed 0.
star: Missing links 0, Name too long 0, File too big 0, Not dumped 1.
star: Processed all possible files, despite earlier errors.
star: 68 blocks + 0 bytes (total of 696320 bytes = 680.00k).

# rmdir /fs1/var/empty		<--- Wasn't this supposed to fail?
#				<--- it didn't.
# star -version
star 1.4.1 (i386-unknown-freebsd4.7)

I repeated the test, with & without -acl and -xfflags (in all combinations)

No big deal, /var/empty seems to be the only 'special' file I need
to 'chflags' manually, but it would have nice if I could be 'sure'
of this.

# mkdir /fs1/var/empty
# chflags schg /fs1/var/empty
# rmdir /fs1/var/empty
rmdir: /fs1/var/empty: Operation not permitted
