Hi i have nfs shared a directory on one machine and used "cp -a" to copy the directory to another machine...(to produce an identicle file server) What puzzles me is that although i was logged on as root... i was still unable to copy some files.. it saying that i was not permitted to copy due to lack of permissions. I thought that as root i would be able to copy everything. Is there any way around this as it is time consuming to change the permissions on every file/directory that it has a problem with.
thanx
