I want to mounts new hard drive as a /home, but how do I copy files from old /home with permissions and ownership preserved cp -Rv * would copy recursively, but how to preserve ownership and permissions on files. Thank you.

I've always used find and cpio to copy large directory trees: $ cd <src> $ find . -depth -print | cpio -pdmv <dest> filling in the appropriate pathnames for <src> and <dest>. -Mark.

and asI'm easily confused, and learned tar first I tar clC <wherever> | tar xpC <wherever> and if I have buffer installed I insert that into the line tar .. | buffer -p 75 | tar ... and if source and destination are on different computers, one or both tars can be prefixed with an ssh command. Depending on circumstances you may wish to use compression too. -- Cheers John Summerfield tourist pics: http://environmental.disaster.cds.merseine.nu/
