What does the find | cpio command do that
rsync -avHAX
doesn’t do?
Elastic twang!
apache 2.2.0 (fedora) sever there are errors. no need to break it already broken.
Why use ‘cpio’ instead of standard ‘cp’? Does ‘cp’ lack something in the context of copying *EVERYTHING*? ‘cp’ has switches for preserving permissions and recursive copying.
