I would use cp, with the option to not enter subfilesystems (you really do not want /proc) and options to copy everything (e.g. extended attrs). It will be smart to avoid running data-changing stuff during the copy (email fetching, a running mysql). Simply dropping to level 1 will take care of that for you. You will just have interrupted logs in the new copy (it will look like a crash and reboot). -- Roberto Ragusa mail at robertoragusa.it -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
