Hi all,
This thread made me wonder abouth something. Is there any
problem with using a cpio backup from and ext2 to restore
a file on an ext3 filesystem. Hopefully I will never have
to test it.
Thanks

Beginner's question: I had a 20GB ATA drive go bad (RH7.1, ext2
filesystems). I took it out of the machine and replaced it with an old
2.1GB drive. I would like to do 2 things: first, get some data off the
bad drive; second, move the data from both the bad and good drives onto
a third drive

I'm not sure
Thanks for your reply--indeed, I was vague about part of the problem.
I'm glad to know that the filesystems won't be an issue, but after
copying data from the bad ATA drive to the good ATA drive, I'll still be
trying to move that data to another, physically separate SCSI drive on
another

Great, thanks! One last question: would the syntax of the command you
provided change at all in case I were trying to sync data from a
second HD on the source machine, that I had mounted on the
primary HD e.g.:
rsync -av -e ssh /mnt/baddrive/mydata target.machine:/target/dir
Hope this isn't a
