I was looking at 'cp -pR', but that doesn't quite do it right - hard-linked files become multiple copies. As long as I'm posting... I was just looking at a disk with the disklabel editor in sysinstall, and saw this: Part Mount Size Newfs ---- ----- ---- ----- da0s1a 64MB * da0s1b swap 320MB SWAP da0s1e 64MB * da0s1f 1024MB * da0s1g 10240MB* da0s1h 10240MB* If I were to create another partition on that disk, it would become da0s1d. Is it normal for 'd' to be the last partition created, or did I somehow do something strange to make it work out that way?
