Hi, The "cp -r <src> <dst>" command omits top directory, when the trailing "/" is present in the <src> string. Here is the test case: barebox@barebox sandbox:/test mkdir d1 barebox@barebox sandbox:/test echo -o d1/f1 1 barebox@barebox sandbox:/test mkdir d2 barebox@barebox sandbox:/test cd d2 barebox@barebox sandbox:/test/d2 cp -r ../d1/ . barebox@barebox sandbox:/test/d2 ls . .. f1 barebox@barebox sandbox:/test/d2 cp -r ../d1 . barebox@barebox sandbox:/test/d2 ls . .. d1 f1 barebox@barebox sandbox:/test/d2 version barebox 2017.04.0-00169-g90e7a35e6 #1 Fri Apr 14 12:46:09 MSK 2017 Regards, Peter _______________________________________________ barebox mailing list barebox@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/barebox
