[u3b.tech] HUGE Directory

pjh@mccc.UUCP (Pete Holsberg) (02/27/89)

Just got an email complaining that /usr2/spool/news was HUGE.  If I cpio
the whole directory structure to a tape,  rm -r /usr2/spool/news from the
file system and mkdir /usr2/spool/news, will it be HUGE again when
restored from the tape?  Will the subdirectories be their true or their
"taped" sizes when restored?  Is there a simpler way to do this?

Thanks,
Pete
