Hi,
Small query from my side ...
You have mentioned one of cpio option..
find / -xdev -print | cpio -ocv -O /export/home/OS.cpio
Do this maintain permissions ??? Consider a example
I have a two machine One is sun and other is linux.
The linux's machine /export/<directory> is shared across the n/w and i can access
/export/<directory> of linux from any other machine /net direcory.
Now i need to copy a directory which is on Solaris to linux box with same links ,
permissions , block size...
On solaris box the permissions are as folloews:
ls -l /export/<directory>
drwxrwxr-x 2 nobody nobody 512 Feb 12 2002 <directory1>
drwxrwxr-x 3 nobody nobody 512 Apr 8 2002 <directory2>
Now i need to copy this /export/<directory>/* to /net/export/<directory>
NOTE***
Here /net/export/<directory> is a linux box!!
I tried with cpio and tar -p option alo...everything went fine...but permissions was
changed !! :((
Also spent a day on google and did
cd /export/<directory>
tar cf - . | (cd /net/export/<directory> && tar xf -)
The copied files permissionsAll went fine except the prmissions :((
It was not gettig retained to 'nobody',but was getting changed to mine eff uid
How could i retain the permissions too....
kindly advice :)
-Dilip
