On Wed, Jul 26, 2006 at 08:51:13PM -0700 I heard the voice of Julian Elischer, and lo! it spake thus: > > I've always used: > find . -depth |cpio -pdlmv $dest While we're in workarounds, I fake with: % cat ~/bin/tarcp.sh #!/bin/sh cmd1="tar -cf - -C $1 ." cmd2="tar -xvpf - -C $2" echo "$cmd1 | $cmd2" $cmd1 | $cmd2 (which has the twin advantages of telling me what it's doing as it goes, and using two processes so it can pound source and dest disks in full parallel) -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
