No it is not a bug, because the find(1) command will only print "quagga/ripd.conf" to its output, and not "quagga/" as well. Since cpio(1) only receives "quagga/ripd.conf", it will only put the information for that item in the archive stream. Try the following command: # (cd /usr/local/etc; find quagga | cpio -dumpv /tmp/) instead. This should grab quagga/ itself, in addition to its contents in the archive stream. If you want to know which items (files, directories, other) that cpio(1) grab information on just run the find(1) without piping its output anywhere. If you don't see the item of interest on a line of its own, cpio(1) will not grab its metadata. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
