If you mean to do this, use 'dd'. Any file-level copying mechanism will be deathly slow due to having to follow all the hardlinks. It might take 4 hours to do with DD what would take a week with tar or cp. > What would happen if some files from the old storage are not copied?

If the hash for the file is not found, a new entry will be created. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sponsored by Intel(R) XDK Develop, test and display web and hybrid apps with a single code base.
