golfnut — Wed, 09 Feb 2005 06:34:55 GMT

how can i copy file systems what have other file systems underneath the tree.

I have /opt and /opt/sybase /opt/...

I was using tar.
cd /var; tar -cvf - . | (cd /new_var; tar -xvf -)

This copies everyting..

Any ideas??

Hi,

You can use find dirname -xdev | cpio ....

Will the find not traverse the whole /opt directory tree.

How about

dump 0f - /opt | (cd /new_opt; restore xf -)

I used to use this in Tru64 world.

thanks

Hi

-xdev option causes find to avoid file system mount point.

Hi,
We usually use

cd var
find . -depth -print | cpio -pdlmv /NEWVAR

Thanks
