On doing some investigation, here's what I have found:
cpio -pmduv /newdisk < disk.cpio
is adding a ^@ to the begining of many files both executable and
textt.
When using vi on text files I can see it, it is always the first
character in the first line.
disk.cpio is created usinf:
find / -depth -print > /usr/tmp/disk.cpio
/newdisk has the following mountts
/dev/wd2a ->/newdisk
/dev/wd2e ->/newdisk/var
/dev/wd2f ->/newdisk/usr
-> does not indicate a link. It is intended to indicate the mount
point.
wd2 is an 8.4 gig ide which with 3.2R loaded from the WC cdrom. and is
the secondary master.
/ is a 2.5 gig ide drive on the primary master
I'm copying from / to /newdisk.
I am using 3.2R. Is cpio flawed or have I done something wrong here?
I'll try tar pclv | tar xpv on the filesystems of / tonight and see if
tcopy goes better.
It was my understanding that tar did not copy special files. Is this
still true?
