OK, I see that running the command from the source is the way to go (at least for cpio, I don't appear to have afio). But unfortunately it is not maintaining ownership, which is the issue. I can't access the source as root, which is the "root" of the problem, and running the command as a user who has access to the source is what, I believe, is inhibiting the maintenance of the ownership. Same deal for rsync.

For "safer" file level compression use you could also use afio: find . -depth -print |afio -o -v -Z "destination" -Jim -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list ____________________________________________________________________________________ The fish are biting.
