[Debian sarge/testing; linux-2.6.8; rsync-2.6.3] Are there any problem using 'rsync' to copy /dev (and /.dev under a 2.6.x linux kernel)? Should those dirs be copied in a default 'rsync' configuration? Might there be a *standard* global configuration file that is excluding /dev and /.dev? These questions arise in my use of 'systemimager' to replicate machines ... Thanks for any ideas! -- Prof Kenneth H Jacker khj@cs.appstate.edu Computer Science Dept www.cs.appstate.edu/~khj Appalachian State Univ Boone, NC 28608 USA
