what your command is telling it to do is to copy /home to /home.cp which doesn't exist...... bur remember... I am the village idiot unless someone agrees with me.<br clear="all"><div>:-)~MIKE~(-:</div>

Since I have lots of space available on /dev/sda6,<br>
I'd like to copy /home (which is on /dev/sda6 to<br>
home.cp on that same sda6 drive.<br>
<br>
But when I tried (as root) to do this:<br>
<br>
# cp -rp /home /home.cp<br>
<br>
I got an "out of space" error message because the<br>
copy was being made onto /dev/sda1.<br>
<br>
So, what syntax can I use to copy /home to /home.cp on /dev/sda6 ?<br>
<br>
<br>
/dev/sda1 12G 5.7G 5.6G 51% /<br>
tmpfs 473M 0 473M 0% /dev/shm<br>
/dev/sda6 168G 23G 146G 14% /home<br>
<br>
