You did do something wrong, according to what you told us. You use 'cp -a' to copy the files. That doesn't copy recursively, not does it copy the "dot" files. I advised that you used 'rsync'

Err, yes it does. cp -a == cp --archive. It is specifically designed to copy recursively, and it does copy dot files. It also actually outperforms rsync in some circumstances. And there's a -u option you can add as well. 'cp' gets far more bad press than it deserves. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
