Re: cpio command and schg flags
I am trying to use this code sequence to clone a directory tree. mkdir /usr/test1 cd /var find . | cpio -dmp /usr/test1 The result is /usr/test1 gets populated with the directory tree but all the schg flags get stripped off. How can I keep the schg flags in the cloned directory? Did you copy under root? BSD cpio unlike GNU cpio does preserve file flags. $ cpio --version bsdcpio 2.8.4 -- libarchive 2.8.4 $ find /lib | sudo cpio -dmp test 56525 blocks $ ls -lo test/lib | awk '$5 != "-"' total 15595 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel schg 4440677 Sep 5 22:24 libc.so.7 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel schg 131655 Sep 5 22:24 libcrypt.so.5 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel schg 592241 Sep 5 22:24 libthr.so.3 I am running release 8.2 and $ cpio --version returns bsdcpio 2.7.0 -- libarchive 2.7.0 This version seems not to copy the schg flag maybe cpio got upgraded in release 9.0 which you must be running. ___ 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"

The manpage does show an example of how to do this, but calls it moving the file heirarchy. -- Carl Johnsonca...@peak.org ___ 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"

As far as I remember, cpio doesn't copy flags. But you can use either dump + restore, or dpdup (from ports). >From "man cpdup": The cpdup utility makes an exact mirror copy of the source in the destination, creating and deleting files and directories as necessary. UTimes, hardlinks, softlinks, devices, permissions, and flags are mirrored. Flags are explicitely mentioned here.
