I would use rsync too, something like: # rsync -av /usr/ /mnt/newusr/ (you can drop the v swith if you don't want verbose output) If possible it you be good to remount /usr as read-only (mount -o remount,ro /usr) so you are certain no changes are made to it's contents during the copy. -- Paulo Silva <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
