debian backup/restore
Hi all,
I'm wanting to make my linux partition slightly smaller to make room for
that other OS. I've got / on a reiserfs partition, which i believe
cannot beresized at the start, so I'll have to backup the whole system,
repartition, and restore. No sweat, I've done this before.
However, I've just run into a problem I've never encountered (or never
knew I encountered) before - I'm getting messages saying "socket
such_and_such skipped.
There were two in the /dev directory - flew past too quickly tho, I
don't know what they are - and a couple in the /var/spool/postfix eg:
prw--w--w- 1 postfix postdrop 0 2005-07-18 01:27 pickup
I got the error both with cp -av and tar cfv
Will these sockets be recreated once I run postfix after restoring the
system, or is there another way to safely backup and restore them?
Thanks
