I want to essentially copy the files on one RH7.2 machine onto another one, but without overwriting the basic OS files (eg, drivers, program versions, etc). We have a poorly documented application that we need to copy (and flesh out the documentation whilst we're at it).
Most of it's done, but I want to check by creating a list comparing the contents of one partition (which has been totally copied into a directory on the new machine called /transfer) with the root filesystem. I tried "rsync -rn /transfer / >sync_files.txt", but the file has a very large list of lines saying "skipping non-regular file transfer/[filename]". The files I knew to be different aren't listed at all. Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong - or a better way to achieve the same result?
