Hello,
I am on openSUSE 10.3 and I really hate the current behavior. On 10.0 I
could do a mv and it retained the orignal date/time. Now moving the
directory changes times. I have to do a cpio to get things to stay. When
you transfer 450 GB it becomes a real problem. I only have a 1TB drive.
Once I finish getting things to this drive I will not be able to do a
cpio.
Also cpio no longer honors -pdum. I have to use
cpio -p --make-directories --preserve-modification-time
A real pain to type and prone to mistakes. Why has the long honored
methods been change. I really hate this new behavior. I do not want to
go back to 10.0 to just to transfer everything to this drive. What can I
do to get the orignal behavior back with mv and cpio?
Thanks,
