I did this tons of times before without problem Actually I did: mount VolGrpSys2-root /mnt/linux1 - o ro mount VolGrpSys3-root /mnt/linux2 cp -a /mnt/linux1/* /mnt/linux2 In the past it did not miss directories. Would it do it know? I do not like to use dd, because I want to keep the size of the 2 patitions are different I could use tar -c tar -x You used cp /dev/sda /dev/sdb? Device to device? Or you specified directories to copy? I've had cp -a of directories not work, in particular it misses hidden files unless you explicitly copy them. I've had better luck with rsync. And I've had impressively good luck with btrfs send/receive, that's a cake walk, and fast. > > Chris Murphy > > -- > users mailing list > users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe or change subscription options: > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users > Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct > Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > Have a question?
