Since no one has suggested the real problem, I would like to suggest that all those 'expecting ...' are also related to whatever errors were printed at the very beginning. So an actual dump of the exact output there would be useful. FWIW, for doing stuff like moving the root fs (which I have done more often than I would like) I recommend using tar -cp or rsync -a. I preserves everything I care about preserving, and it has well-known and well-tested semantics that I feel comfortable with. --=20 / Peter Schuller PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller <peter.schuller@infidyne.com>' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to getpgpkey@scode.org E-Mail: peter.schuller@infidyne.com Web: http://www.scode.org --azLHFNyN32YCQGCU Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAki88rQACgkQDNor2+l1i33vegCguoTZaAPgpQnOVxKv9pgpATbQ hJQAnjwjBi2cVtemAk1Dm+ALPm3YL39Q =hqOx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --azLHFNyN32YCQGCU--
