Yes, in this case tar is inefficient, but it was the safest way for me. 64studio:/home/spinymouse/Desktop/folder1# ls root_dir usr_dir 64studio:/home/spinymouse/Desktop/folder1# chmod 777 root_dir 64studio:/home/spinymouse/Desktop/folder1# rsync -vpr * /home/spinymouse/Desktop/folder2 This works fine :), root_dir and usr_dir are now in folder2 and they have preserved permissions. Will all kinds of files, folders and links be copied, in other words, can I copy my 64 Studio by using another Linux, from one HD to the other, by using the options -vpr or is there something else to do? The Download of Suse needed 8 bit more, than there is free space on my old HD. Right now comes across my mind, that I don't have to use GParted from a Live CD today. I can partition the new HD, by using the 64 Studio on my old HD. All the day I wasn't at home, looks like I will have a night shift after cooking.
