I'm trying to move all the files in my root partition to a different disk parition. I had no problems using cp -ar to do this with the /usr tree, but /dev is giving me problems. I can't seem to copy the devices in /dev. I get messages like "cp: /dev/sdh3: Operation not supported by device". MAKEDEV doesn't seem to create all the devices, or set the proper file ownerships. Is there anyway to do this other than re-creating the hundreds of them by hand?
Thanks, John Paul
