Blast, spoke too soon. When I tried to scp over the tar of the /var/tmp partition it failed: =============================== debug1: Sending command: scp -v -p -f /mnt/sda14/sda5_var.tmp debug1: client_input_channel_req: channel 0 rtype exit-status reply 0 Sink: scp: /mnt/sda14/sda5_var.tmp: not a regular file scp: /mnt/sda14/sda5_var.tmp: not a regular file debug1: channel 0: free: client-session, nchannels 1 debug1: fd 0 clearing O_NONBLOCK debug1: fd 1 clearing O_NONBLOCK debug1: Transferred: stdin 0, stdout 0, stderr 0 bytes in 3.1 seconds debug1: Bytes per second: stdin 0.0, stdout 0.0, stderr 0.0 debug1: Exit status 1 =============================== What does "not a regular file" mean? :=@ -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
