I plan to configure a device to boot from a CF card, but to reduce writes to the CF, run /tmp /var and /dev from a memory (mfs) drive.
When preping the device, I copy the contents of the /var directory to another directory path. When 'swap mfs' in the fstab file mounts the mfs drive, the contents of the that directory is copied there. However, when I copy files to the new directory with the command: cp -rp /var /mfstmp/var I get cp: /var/cron/tabs/.sock: Operation not supported cp: /var/empty/dev/log: Operation not supported Is there any ugly problems that may come about later without these socks or file? Thanks!
