If there is a "mount point" with a second filesystem mounted on it below the "source" directory, then all the data on that (and any other) filesystem will also be copied to "target". Which is rarely what is wanted. It is better to run "pax" in copy mode. pax -M -peW -X source target Note that the pax command above will most likely need to be done with an effective UID of 0 (I use "sudo", but installation of that is optional) and by a user with the RACF AUDITOR attribute (the W copies the audit attributes and requires RACF AUDITOR). > > This way I keep my files and attributes, etc in tack in the target file > > Lizette > > -- *L'Shanah Tovah Tikatevu* Maranatha! <>< John McKown ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
