I'm running AIX 2.2.1 on an RT. Can anyone tell me why the following doesn't work ? tar -c -f - dir1 dir2 dir3 | (cd /newdir; tar -x -f -) The idea is make a copy of dir1 dir2 dir3 while retaining dates of creation, ownership, permissions, etc. I'm getting directories and files created in /newdir but some of them are using the same inodes :-( (i.e. the stuff in /newdir is useless). Thanks. tim Tim Brecht tim@tse.uucp Toronto Stock Exchange uunet!geac!tse!tim Toronto, Ontario, CANADA
