Re: Duplicating a partition's directory structure - How?

[Jörg-Volker Peetz]

In order to separate reading from writing or to store the directory structure
for several writings one can use find and tar:

  find PATH -xdev -type d -print0 \
    | tar cf FILE --no-recursion --null --files-from -

The directories will be stored in the file FILE. It can be extracted with

  tar xpf FILE -C DESTINATION

where directory DESTINATION must already exist.
