Hi, I have the wonderfully exciting task of transferring a live web server to another box. We're moving it from Solaris to FreeBSD, so as you understand, I can't simply swap the hard drives... Anyway, the problem is thus: I have about 200M worth of content in one of the virtual servers, and only about 65M free space anywhere on the box. So I can't tar it up and move it. We have ftpd turned off on all boxes on the network, and use scp. I really don't want to scp every file (these are html files that make up 200m, you can imagine how many of them there must be!) separately... I tried to gzip the directory structure with gzip -r docs/* > docs.gz but that actually gzips every file, which is unacceptable on a live server. is there anyway I can get all these files into one gzipped one WITHOUT affecting the originals? or anything else I can do? thanks, Roman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
