While we're in workarounds, I fake with: % cat ~/bin/tarcp.sh #!/bin/sh cmd1="tar -cf - -C $1 ." cmd2="tar -xvpf - -C $2" echo "$cmd1 | $cmd2" $cmd1 | $cmd2 (which has the twin advantages of telling me what it's doing as it goes, and using two processes so it can pound source and dest disks in full parallel) -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream. _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
