You could avoid proc and mnt like this: # UNTESTED # (cd / && \ find `ls | egrep -v 'proc|mnt'` | \ afio -o - (cd wherever && afio -i -)) This should move all directories from "/" to wherever, ignoring proc and mnt and preserving all permissions. You could also use find's -prune option instead of the nested ls, and you could use find's -mount option to avoid mounts like /mnt, or -fstype to avoid nfs or other filesystems. -- Rob -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
