line 163 is the tar command - but here ya go.

My experience has been that tar just keeps chugging unless it can't read
something from the archive itself. You're not seeing that, just getting
informational messages. I would bet you that it finished, after doing
as well as it could.
The hard link errors are because you're copying a file (with a hard
link) onto two separate file systems. Hard links cannot go across file
systems, only soft links. Since /usr is frequently a mounted file
system, separate from /etc in the root file system, I'm surprised that
those links to the time zone are hard ones, not soft ones. You should
be able to recreate the links easily enough after you get the new system
up.
I'd like to see line 163 of the create_system script:
cat create_system | sed -e '160,165 !d'
cat -evT create_system | sed -e '160,165 !d'

Subject: Trying to move a file system recursively using tar
Is there a limit to how many 'errors' tar will accept in a copy
operation and if so can it be overridden?
I am copying a single disk system to a 'broken out' multiple HFS
structure
via:
cd /
tar -clpSf - . | (cd /mnt ; tar -xpSf - )
the mounted file systems: (percentage use is after copy)
/dev/dasdb1 2125924 1926936 90996 96% /
tmpfs 510532 0 510532 0% /dev/shm

Mostly I get socket errors. I've been told in the past that those are
not anything I should worry about, but the last few 'Cannot hard link'
errors and then the unrevealing last message are strange. The copy
failed complaining:
./create_system: line 163: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
./create_system: line 163: `- )'
and the only occurrence of -) in the thing is in the tar command shown
above. The methodology I used to get here is shown in:
http://www.linuxvm.org/Info/HOWTOs/movefs.html If anyone has any
advice/insight, I'd appreciate any input.
