ATTN: Bassey essien - cpio question

[Maureen Gunkel]

I replied to your original question, but cannot see the replies. So, here goes your original question plus my answer. Maybe others can help too!
---------------------------------------
does any know the simplest way of copying data
from old disk to new disk using cpio command. what options will facilitates copying entire directory tree from old PV to new VG.
Iam not acquainted with cpio, but i think this is what i need in other to move datas from the old PV to the new volume groups.
Thanks.
------------------------------------------
Bassey,
I would think you would want to use -pdmv, and the syntax would be:
find . -depth -print | cpio -pdmv newdisk

the p means passthrough, d means create directories as needed, m means retain mod time, and v is verbose.

Hi again,

As I originally french speaking, I don't fully understand your signature.
I guess that 'mo' must be a nickname not far from 'Maureen' but what does 'HTH' stand for ??

All the best

Dan
