Re: Problem moving /usr to new partition

[ktb <xyf@inebraska.com>]

Just being nit picky:) 'cp -a' is sufficient  -a contains -R  
from the man page --

-a, --archive
              Preserve  as  much as possible of the structure and
              attributes of the original files in the copy.   The
              same as -dpR.
