I'm running an XFS system on all partitions on a Linux system. The
partitions are on a RAID 5 array. I have a spare partition that I wanted to
copy /, /usr, /home over to. I started with the /, /usr, /home partitions
mounted and did
xfsdump -J - / | xfsrestore -J - /mnt/newsystem
where / is my root partition (the source) and /mnt/newsystem is the partition
that has the filesystem I'm copying TO (the target). Both are mounted during
the process.
This copied over some files, but not all. For example, in my usr/bin
directory on /mnt/newsystem I'm missing vim while it does exist on /usr/bin.
I'm also missing some /bin commands.
Any ideas on what's going wrong here. The messages indicate that it copies
succesfully but I'm missing files.
Thank you.
