One problem with tar and cp is that they can't properly copy sparse file like dump|restore can, so in certain cases data can blow-up in size. cpio claims to be be able to recreate sparse files, but I found that when I tried this on mlnet data, some of the download percentage-complete figures dropped, suggesting it hadn't got it right. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
