But this would not copy the hardlinks... and there are a bunch on /usr, |

Ok, so, last questions... |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
When mounting /, do I need to specify the fstype and mount option |
| 22 |
showing in fstab, ie: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
mount -t ext3 -o noatime /dev/sda3 /mnt/gentoo/ |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Then when mounting the old /usr, since it is reiserfs: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
mount -t reiserfs -o noatime /dev/vg/usr /mnt/gentoo/oldusr |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Last - are there any concerns about the fact that /usr is currently on a |
| 31 |
reiserfs file system, moving to an ext3 filesystem? |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Current command I'll be using: |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
rsync -avHP --numeric-ids /mnt/gentoo/oldusr/ /mnt/gentoo/usr/ |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Thanks again, |
