Sun Managers:
I got a project to clean up file systems in a number
of servers, and have a need to move a number of
sub-dir
(user home dirs) from 1 file system to another file
system in the same server. The file time stamps and
file ownership need to stay the same.

I am planning to try something like:

# tar cvf /home1/user1; (cd /home2/user1; tar xf - )

and remove /home1/user1 later (a few weeks later)

Is there any Solaris Unix script out there that
perform
this kind of operation faster/more efficiently? I am
talking about moving gigabytes of files from 1 mount
point to another in a Solaris server.

Wouldn't the good ole Unix "mv" command be sufficient?
ie: # mv /home1/user1 /home2

Thanks
TM (Move Team)
