I have connected a new sata drive that I plan to store my /myth files on. But before I go on editing the fstab I am wondering how to copy the myth folders and files to the new drive with right permissions. Thanks for help! newbie |

The most reliable way I know of doing this is to use the old tar trick. Note that you need to do this as root: Code: ( cd /myth ; tar cf - . ) | ( cd /NewMyth ; tar xf - )

Tar would work great as tjc said. cp -rpv * /newmyttv should preserver the permissions as well. |
