Hi, I am setting up a raid array using the Software-RAID-HOWTO. In the section "Root Filesystem on RAID" he explains how to copy a working filesystem to a new raid array. The commands are: cd / find . -xdev | cpio -pm /mnt/newroot What is going on in that command? Does anyone else have a favorite command to do this function, which may be easier to remember? Why didn't he use dd? Thanks for any insight. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
