Hi I have been using XFS for a while with no problems. However I have
recently moved to Gentoo linux and backups are now much more critical to me.
I am trying to use Mondo Rescue as a backup program and one of the commands it
uses is as follows
cp --parents -pRdf /usr/local/share/mondo /home/mondo.scratch.1050/
which returns the following
cp: `/usr/local/share/mondo/restore-scripts.tgz': Argument list too long
cp: preserving permissions for
`/home/mondo.scratch.19294/usr/local/share/mondo': Invalid argument
it seems to be the -p switch which causes this. It has been suggested that
this could be a problem with XFS (I am running version 1.1) My kernel is a
Gentoo supplied patched kernel. I could possibly try a more vanilla one.
Perhaps someone could try cp on a directory with these arguments and see if
they can duplicate these results
Any help is appreciated.
Regards
Mark
