You did what?????
cp -a????
It gets them everytime:-)
cp & symlinks are not friends...
If you ever need to copy a directory or filesystem do a tar! It will not
only keep the permissions & owner bits correct, It will also keep
symlinks pointing the correct way..
There is a trick to copy a directory from one place to another using tar
but I can't remember it right now... something like:
tar -cv . | (cd /newdir; tar -x --)
I don't think that's it.... I'm sure someone else here knows it by
heart:-)
