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.
This looks like it: Running du as root produces this on the directory I have cp -a'd: du: no se puede leer el directorio «/home2/lynn/.config»: Permiso denegado du: no se puede leer el directorio «/home2/lynn/.cache/menus»: Permiso denegado du: no se puede leer el directorio «/home2/lynn/.cache/openbox/sessions»: Permiso denegado du: no se puede leer el directorio «/home2/lynn/.dbus»: Permiso denegado du: no se puede leer el directorio «/home2/lynn/.gconf»: Permiso denegado du: no se puede leer el directorio «/home2/lynn/.local»: Permiso denegado (no se puede leer=cannot read, Permiso denegado=Permission denied) What has happened to those directories? I think it's something to do with gvfs. Thanks, L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
