Using tar i normally create an archive etc and then unpack that archive,
job done.
But i am copying from one filesystem to another on the same host, they
are 2 seperate nfs filesystems, and i wonder is it possible to use tar
to do this as opposed to say rsync etc.
tar -cvf /some/input/dir to/here etc ?
I believe it goes something like:
cd /some/input/dir
tar cvf - . | (cd /to/here; tar xvf -)
Alternately
cd /some/input/dir
tar cO . | tar xC /to/here -f -
