Then you can better use named pipes, then you won't need tempspace mkfifo /tmp/somenamedpipe on <newdrive>: tar -zxvf /tmp/somenamedpipe and in another shell, while the above is running... on <olddrive>: tar -zcvf /tmp/somenamedpipe <files/dirs you want copied> You can also use the tools 'mirrordir' and 'copydir', they are in the same package, and they copy (or copy with delete) one directory tree to another, in a minimal way (Compare timestamps, don't copy if even..)
