I‘d like to make / file system backup but the problem is there are other file systems mounted under / such as:

/mnt/cdrom
/mnt/nfs
/iscsi
/boot
/var

I’d like to skip all other file systems mounted at / and only make backup of local / and not /boot, /var, /iscsi, and /mnt/cdrom etc. How do I force tar to use a single file system under Linux / UNIX / BSD operating systems?
