Unfortunately, using cp or rsync is not possible because the filesystem has a real-time device attached to it. It's basically a ~10GB data device and a ~500GB real-time device. I'd say it's from a DVR or something like that, and that Jeffrey is trying to put a bigger disk in the DVR.... Hence there are various DVR forums that suggest xfsdump/xfsrestore is the best method for copying such filesystems to a larger disk. I'd guess that people haven't found xfs_rtcp, or maybe they saw the caveat in the man page(*) and didn't use it.... Cheers, Dave. (*) CAVEATS Currently, realtime partitions are not supported under the Linux version of XFS, and use of a realtime partition WILL CAUSE CORRUPTION on the data partition. As such, this command is made available for curious DEVELOPERS ONLY at this point in time. -- Dave Chinner david@fromorbit.com _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
