This works without problems as long as it is running from the system to be copied. In case you use a live system, it doesn't know anything about the associations between devices and the mountpoints; this information is, as far as I know, obtained via /etc/fstab. This is important to know especially if the source and target disk have different layouts and concepts, e. g. /dev/ad0s1d = /var -> /dev/da0s1e = /var (different partition names for same subtree). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
