Roughly two months ago I did this exact same thing, three times! Without regard to the options I passed to cp, it *did* do a recursive copy of /mnt, hung on /dev, and I don't remember what happened to /proc. What *did* work for me what this (I think):
in root directory, cp --archive /dir1 /dir2 .... /lastdir /mnt then I did mkdir /mnt/proc mkdir /mnt/mnt I can't remember what I did with /dev, but the above should do it. However, make sure it works (as always) before you zap the original. Jon Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
