Hi all... Ok... More info for the puzzle.....
I'm trying to move a file system from one disk to another, and when I do this: tar cf - /source/* | ( cd /destination && tar xfv - ) It copies all the files, but the symbolic links are copied as files of 0 length, rather than re-established as links. BUT When I just: tar -cf file.tar /source/* And then: tar -xf file.tar Then the symbolic links are made correctly.... Any reason why this should work and not the piped version for 'all in one' copying? _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
