If you're talking about just SSH'ing into the machine: That will probably cause the copy to be broken (if the machine has / still mounted r/w), at least an fsck would be needed. Also, this method will also need a bigger or equally sized new partition. If it's bigger, one also needs to resize the filesystem afterwards. -hwh -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
