Which also excludes /usr/include/sys, not only /sys. And so on. You |
| 20 |
probably have to rewrite this as ./tmp/* , but I did not test this. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
And I just learnt that -l is no longer a synonym for --one-file-system, |
| 23 |
at least for tar 1.25. I'd do it with a bind mount this: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
mount -o bind / /mnt |
| 26 |
cd /mnt |
| 27 |
tar -cvSf - . | (cd /new_gentoo_partition; tar -xpvf - ) |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
This way, the original /dev is being copied (including entries console |
| 30 |
and null), without the udev stuff that is mounted on top of /dev, while |
| 31 |
with --one-file-system only the empty /dev directory would be created. |
