Looking through /stand on my 4.8 system I see that this would create about 60Mb extra. You might do better with dump and restore: # cd /miiror/rootfs # dump -0 -a -f - / | restore -r -f - Malcolm ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
rsync problem
Hello I'm using rsync to sort of mirror two 40GB disks (once a day). All partitions work as expected, but root is weird (and as you can see below, I sort of made it too small). I use this command: /usr/local/bin/rsync -ax --delete / /mirror/rootfs But this is what I'm getting: df -m Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 154 717051%/ /dev/ad1s1a 154 138 497%/mirror/rootfs So, there's a 67 MB difference between both. I started out wite a cleanly formatted mirror (UFS2) My system is FreeBSD 5.0 RELEASE-p11 Thanks for any help Guy ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
