Hi.
Does anyone know the best way to copy a huge directory tree (~1Gig)
to another disk (mounted at some point)? I need to preserve the
ownerships and permissions, preservation of times are optional.
I am aware of 3 ways:
tar cpfl - dir1 | tar -C dir2 -xpf -
find dir1 -xdev -print | cpio -p -admu dir2
cp -ax dir1 dir2
Which one is considered to be safer, faster, etc?
thanks.
Alex Y.
