Solaris

I have a slice on a 72GB hard drive like this (example):

/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 51424287 51009 50859036 1% /usr/stuff

that I need to copy or move to a slice on a MUCH larger slice like this:

/dev/dsk/c0t2d0s6 70592505 570236 69316344 1% /usr/newstuff

What is the suggested operation (cp?, tar?) and syntax?

I tried to use the dd command like so:

dd if=/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 of=/dev/dsk/c0t2d0s6 bs=1024

but the screen just sits there. I know it's moving data, but it sure is taking a long time.

Thanks

since you're not transferring anything big and since you want to see some "action" ... try ...

Code:

(cd /usr/stuff; tar cvfp - *) | (cd /usr/newstuff; tar xvfp -)

have fun!

Personally I prefer this becasue it doesn't have the same file/path length issues

Code:

cd /dir to copy from
find . -depth -print | cpio -pmd /dir to copy to

try "lu" to to something like this

Thanks JustIce! That was the command I was looking for.
