hi, i copied a harddisk with tar (kind of tar -c -f - | tar -x -f - -C /copy...) and lost a lot of accessinformation. it seems, that the umask dropped all the rights for writing for group and other. shure i didn't read the manual and thi sbehavier may be a feature, not a bug. but now i've got a debian system with wrong access rights. i could fix /dev, cause MAKEDEV does this. now im looking for a similar skript for the other dirs. i think it would be importand to check those access rights from time to time. kind of konsistency check on files and dirs especially in /var would be nice.
