I originally learned that 1-liner trick from the SGI man page for the tar command.
It was also here:
/usr/share/doc/howto/en/txt/Hard-Disk-Upgrade.gz
but it was removed:
Previous versions of the Mini How-To stated that you could also use tar to copy the disk, but this method was found to have a bug. There are of course many other ways to copy the disks, but these three are the simplest, quickest, and most reliable.
However, it doesn't say what bug was that.
Randall put his finger on it... The method I listed failed to include flags for preserving permissions (-p), access time (--atime-preserve) and staying within the filesystem (-l). Removing it is rather shortsighted...the editor should have just included the appropriate flags. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
