Hello,

This message is a little "out of the topic", but I think that could help...

Just a little "trick" I use when I want to copy larges trees with complex
permisions :

# cd /dir/to/copy
# tar cpf - --numeric-owner * | (cd /destination/dir ; tar
xpf - --numeric-owner)

Has somone a better, faster, more efficient way to do it ? I think cp -R ...
cannot do the job when copying devices (in /dev ) , soft links....
The major problem is for hard links that are "losts". Does someone know a
way to preserve them when doing so, I meen copy the inode(s) and make
multiples files points to it, no make the new files point to diff�rents
copies of the original inode, nor make the new files point to the original
inode ?
