You may be right, although on a typical Debian system, I tend to trust cp -a... Now, it may be a busybox version, with other bugs... or maybe it's a filesystem reliability issue, and tools won't change that (I tend to prefer that second option, as copying again same files, but individually achieved proper md5sums...) In any case, I suggest that you update http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Moving_current_system_from_flash_to_SD if you would like to test and document your findings with other tools. > On Sun, 10 Aug 2008, Olivier Berger wrote: > >> One issue I've found is that cp -a didn't relyably copy from MTD/flash >> to SD 5 or 6 files. > Thanks.
