I'm having a nightmare trying to copy my root file system to its new home. If I mount the original as / and the new one as /mnt, both
cp -ax /* /mnt and ( cd /; tar clvf - * ) | ( cd /mnt; tar xf - ) attempt to copy /mnt anyway, and /proc too. ie, the -x and -l switches to cp and tar respectively appear to be ignored. I would do it with the rescue disk, mounting the two partitions as /mnt and /mnt2, except that the rescue disk (poorly named?) seems to have a cut down cp with only -r, and no tar! Any suggestions? thanks, Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Debian packages at ftp://ftp.rising.com.au/pub/hamish.
