You know, as I was sending the message, I was thinking "as soon as I say this, somebody will tell it's been suggested before" :-D But then, I recently copied a directory full of hardlinks (originally created with storeBackup, a similar but simpler backup utility I use at home), over NFS, and then mv'd it locally to a different partition, and in both instances hardlinks were preserved. Also, the info page for mv says that it uses some of the same code as cp -a. So the question now is, in what circumstances does cp work or not work? > =--------------------- > paul fox, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (arlington, ma, where it's 25.5 degrees) Bernardo Rechea, in Burlington, MA, where it's, let's see..., 31 degrees F and feels like 23. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
