Slightly off topic but might be useful to you, I had a external HDD, it came formatted with the FAT filesystem, however I had murders getting all files to rsync from my Ubuntu machine, it didnt like preserving user, groups and soft links etc. I reformatted the drive to ext4 and it worked a charm. -Mark -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
