It didn't say this in the package description. I had an 8 gig partition to copy, so I decided to give it a "baptism of fire". It worked OK, sorta. I saw some long pauses during the copy and it never exited at the end, although it did appear to copy everything. Another thing I noticed is that the man page indicates that -a is equivilent to -rptfgoD . I noticed that this copies everything that the sym links are pointing to. Reading the man page, it seems like it would not do this unless you gave it the -L argument. So, have you played with this and how *do* you get it to make sym links, but not copy what they point to? Am I reading -L backwards? -Jim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
