ARRGGGHHHH!!!!!  ;-(  ;-(  ;-(\n\n anyways, GNU `cpio -p' does not do spurious reads or writes.\n GNU `tar cf - ... | tar xf - ...' also does not, albeit each\n `tar' both reads and writes the data.  hence, there is twice\n (not thrice!) the I/O of `cpio -p', maybe an issue for c.60Gb.\n\n using strace(1), I've verified my claim GNU `cpio -p' does\n not do spurious reads or writes, i.e. it link(2)s.  but having\n just come back from the pub, perhaps this should also be taken\n with extra skepticism ......   ;-\\ \n\nsorry.  cheers!\n\t-blf-\n--\n Innovative, very experienced, Unix and      | <NAME>    Dublin, Ireland\n Chorus (embedded RTOS) kernel internals     | e-mail: <EMAIL>\n expert looking for a new position ...       | mobile: (+353 or 0)86 854 9268\n  For a résumé, contact me, or see my website  http://www.blf.utvinternet.ie\n\n    Stop E$$o (ExxonMobile):  «Whatever you do, don't buy Esso --- they\n     don't give a damn about global warming.»    http://www.stopesso.com\n     Supported by Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, and numerous others...\n\n-- \nIrish Linux Users' Group: <EMAIL>\nhttp://www.linux.ie/mailman/listinfo/ilug for (un)subscription information.\nList maintainer: <EMAIL>\n\n\n"}
