> Subject: Rearranging partitions WAS: Re: Question?? > find ./ | grep -v /mnt/ | cpio -pdmv /mnt Thank you! Wonderful syntax, and demo of several nuances that have escaped me until this day. I got out the man pages for grep and cpio, and decoded the above, to learn how it does what I correctly intuited it would do. Could you briefly summarize why cp -a or tar -cvf are inappropriate or less functional? Can an unmounted(*1) root filesystem be successfully mirrored, identical to the original, on a target partition with a new filesystem -- using cp -a or the tar -cvf (*2) method? Christopher W.
