 Posted: Sat May 14, 2005 1:32 pm Post subject: rsync question |
 |
|
| Ok, I read somewhere that rsync was my best bet for moving large amounts of files from one partition to another. I would like to do this so I can reformat my root drive as ext3 instead of reiserfs (so i can read it in windows just in case i need to). I read the man page for rsync and tried the options I thought I needed to do this and I got a nice error. Can someone that has experience in this please give me some advice. I am copying from /dev/hdb3 to /dev/hdb6 (hdb6 will become my FreeBSD drive, eventually). |

Amusing to me, that is
