How copy /usr contents to a new partition?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello List,

I want to copy /usr to a new partition and then attach that at /usr. I issued a command

	cp -options(recursive included) /usr /mnt/"mountpoint

This resulted in the creation of a new "usr" directory under /mnt/"mountpoint"/usr and contents of /usr went into sub-directories. What I want is to copy all the subdirectories and files directly under /usr to go at /mnt/"mountpoint" for obvious reasons. How do I do that? "Man cp" did not give me any clue.

Also, is there a command which compares each file under two directory trees for difference.(I want to verify after the above operation)

Thanks,

Parameshwara Bhat
