This is on my hamm system, up to date as of about a month ago. Any ideas why that doesn't work? > cp will never work ... it breaks when you get to /dev ;) I thought I had used it successfully in the past. But it's pretty bad that -x seems to be ignored, and same for tar's l switch. > also, have a look at dump and restore. Couldn't find these on my bo system but will look on my hamm system. Do these copy the whole disk or the files? The new file system is bigger than the old one, so I want to copy the files rather than the file system itself. I could just tar the file system to a file on another partition. That would work but should be unnecessary. thanks, Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Debian packages at ftp://ftp.rising.com.au/pub/hamish.
