Raw (block) device allow access to a hard drive at very low level. You can access small chunks of data (blocks), but there are no files, no directories, no file system at all... The correct command would be "cp -R Documents /Volumes/IPTGA-K", which is the directory, where the operating system "shows" the information stored at the device /dev/disk1s1. -- bye Adalbert -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
