--As of June 18, 2011 5:46:54 PM -0700, Randal L. Schwartz is alleged to have said: > Is "cp -x" new? Not in my 8.1 manpages. --As for the rest, it is mine. The online man page viewer shows it in 8.1, but not 8.0. So, it looks like a gnu-ism that got brought over for 8.1, according to the manpage histories. It's also slightly confusing in the docs: the man page only says 'File System mounts are not traversed'. It probably would be worth noting that it only has any effect with -R, as that's the only time when you are trying to copy files from multiple mountpoints. It would have cleared up for me that it doesn't mean you can't copy *to* a different mountpoint. ;) Daniel T.
