Hello
Current disk/mkfs works similar to cpdir
disk/mkfs -s foo -d bar /sys/lib/proto/allproto
However old mkfs had not -d option.
Cpdir was designed and coded at that time of Plan 9 (ver.2),
so that I can make a copy of directory more handy.
Cpdir has a functionality that is different from disk/mkfs.
