Howdy...
I'm trying to move a large (couple of Gigs) set of files and directories to
a new hard drive on my linux box and I'm having problems maintaining
permissions during the move. Can I get another set of eyeballs on my tar
command and maybe tell me what I'm doing wrong?
tar cpf - *|(cd /new/dir;tar xvpf -)
I'm launching the above command while root, from the olde base directory.
/new/dir is the new base directory.
Thanks in advance.
