/sys is a virtual filesystem, like /dev and /proc. Even if you do succeed |
| 8 |
on copying the contents,you'll only waste space on the root partition of |
| 9 |
the new machine and the virtual filesystems will get mounted over |
| 10 |
them. On my desktop, one file in /proc is more that ten times the size of |
| 11 |
the root filesystem! |

Use the -x option with rsync to prevent copying these. |
