Good Luck and if you find a tutorial that addresses a use case of using dd to copy directories, please post a link here for all of our education.
Indeed. dd is not a file tree walker like rsync, tar find|cpio
Ahhh, thank you for sharing 'your' scars. I did not know this.
Hylton, I use rsync to make file system images/backup such as you describe.
Pray tell a cli command writing / to a root owned device /drobo but preserving all source perms and file tree structure, and of course excluding the destination as a source as it is on the root filesystem?
Regards Hylton
mount ... /drobo mkdir /drobo/backup rsync --archive --one-file-system / /drobo/backup That should backup the / filesystem, none of the the other mounted filesystems. Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
