How do I copy an entire file system, symlinks and all, to a temporarily
mounted partition? (what are the pertinent 'cp' switches?)
I've got an extra harddrive (&PC) and I want to mirror my original system
with as little work as possible.
I put the third harddrive in my system, and mounted it at "/mnt/new". Thus,
the mounts are:
/dev/hda2 / ext2
/dev/hda1 /boot ext2
/dev/hda3 /usr ext3
/dev/hda4 /home ext3
/dev/hdb1 /usr/doc ext2
/dev/hdb2 /usr/src ext2
/dev/hdc1 /mnt/new ext2
Can I simply use the following command?
[bash-2.05]# cp -r / /mnt/new
- Jamie
p.s. (I'd then test the output using 'chroot')
