Operating Systems Solaris How to safely copy full filesystems with large files (10Gb files) Post 302457309 by dragonov7 on Monday 27th of September 2010 05:46:37 PM

I found the infamous 20 Gb sparse file!!! :-), you were right guys!, now I'll follow jlliagre's advice on using ufsdump/ufsrestore to do this job... I'll try:
Code:
ufsdump 0f - /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 | (cd /u02; ufsrestore xf -)

and see how it goes...

Thank you to everyone for your time and help!!!

PS: I used
Code:
ls -lh filename

to see the file size (it showed 20 Gb) and
Code:
du -h filename

to see the real/actual size it is consuming (it showed 96 Kb).

NAME
Locale::Codes::LangExt - standard codes for language extension identification SYNOPSIS
use Locale::Codes::LangExt; $lext = code2langext('acm'); # $lext gets 'Mesopotamian Arabic' $code = langext2code('Mesopotamian Arabic'); # $code gets 'acm' @codes = all_langext_codes(); @names = all_langext_names(); DESCRIPTION
The "Locale::Codes::LangExt" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying language extensions, such as those as defined in the IANA language registry. Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default IANA language registry codes will be used. SUPPORTED CODE SETS
There are several different code sets you can use for identifying language extensions. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a constant that is automatically exported by this module. For example, the two are equivalent: $lext = code2langext('acm','alpha'); $lext = code2langext('acm',LOCALE_LANGEXT_ALPHA); The codesets currently supported are: alpha This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) codes from the IANA language registry, such as 'acm' for Mesopotamian Arabic. This is the default code set. ROUTINES
