[Server-devel] copying from the /library partition

[Sameer Verma]

We are making an archival copy of the /library on one of our school
servers. du -hc | grep total on the /library/users directory shows
4.7GB. Copying that over to a 16GB ext2 formatted USB took all night
and is still going, and df -h from another console shows 7GB on te USB
stick and its still writing. Any ideas how 4.7GB became 7GB?

Anybody have any strategies on making archival copies of /library/users

cheers,
Sameer
