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!
