I posted the following article yesterday:
> We would like to duplicate files from one AFS domain to another by

Quite a few people responded with valuable suggestions. I summarize the
suggestions below:
| cpio UNIX command
| depot see http://andrew2.andrew.cmu.edu
| mirdir see /afs/caspur.it/project/mirdir
| package see Transarc documentation or http://andrew2.andrew.cmu.edu
| shadowdir a shell script, contact http://acm.org/~mpb/homepage.html
| up see Transarc documentation
For cpio, the suggestion is (not fully tested yet):
1. create a named pipe (with mknod)
cd /tmp; /etc/mknod PIPE p; chmod 666 PIPE
2. start first shell with first token to cpio into that pipe
..... cd source_dir; find . -depth -print| cpio -o > /tmp/PIPE
3. start second shell under second token (use pagsh?) cpio out of that pipe
..... cd dest_dir;cpio -idm < /tmp/PIPE
Thanks for all the suggestions!
