Hi, I have done a minimal FreeBSD 5.4 install onto single partition ad0s1a I then mounted my 512MB Compact Flash ide drive on ad2s1.
When I run this command su'ed as root: tar --one-file-system cf - -C / . | tar xpvf - -C /mnt I find that all the directories end up with permissions of: drwx------ Even running: dump 0af - / | restore xf - gives the same result. If I manually create a directory on the CF /mnt I get the correct permissions! Files copied over via tar and dump are ok. I have used tar to copy HD contents to larger HD,s before with out a problem. Umask is set to 22, and this is being done in a tcsh shell. Any clue on whats going on? Cheers, Paul Hamilton. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
