I am copying one partition to another using cpio, but empty
directory trees are not being copied; also, if I use the
-d option (create leading directories when needed), I get
permissions of 700 ( drwx------ )
Example:
In copying this partition
/bin
/mnt <--------- this is empty
/root
by empty, I mean no FILES. There are other directories, like
/mnt/floppy and /mnt/cdrom in there, but no files.
Now, I give the command:
prompt# find . -mount | cpio -pvumd /some
and when I do an ls -la on /some I get:
/bin permission 700
/root permission 700
but no /mnt.
Is there an option, command, or trick that will accomplish
what I want; ie, create the empty directory tree?
Also, in the above scenario, the permissions for /bin and /root
are set to 700. Is there a way for cpio to read the current
ownership/permissions from these directories?
