If not all files ill be owned by root (I assume you will do this as root, or you can't copy all files), with the default permissions. That is not what you want! Als look at cpio with passthru. This looks just like the thing you want to me, but there are more ways to achieve the same result. :) > > Do not try to copy the /proc directory.
