Package: coreutils Version: 5.97-5.3 Severity: normal I'm trying to save what I can from a rather large disk which is failing (ocasional read errors). I already wasted some time trying two tar processes connected with a pipe - tar has an option to ignore I/O errors, but unfortunately it causes the other process to desync and it all ends up copying data to /dev/null.
I was hoping to get an idea what cp would do on read errors, before I give it a try, but neither the man page nor the info manual say anything about I/O errors. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-5-ovz-686 Locale: LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages coreutils depends on: ii libacl1 2.2.41-1 Access control list shared library ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13etch2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libselinux1 1.32-3 SELinux shared libraries coreutils recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
