**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Jun 09 23:59:57 2005 Jun 10 00:18:22 rwhitby-away: yes, it was meant to be doing that - I intended it not to copy either /boot/... or /linuxrc Jun 10 00:20:35 rwhitby-away: it isn't on the systems I have. I just looked at one from June 6. Jun 10 00:25:19 Um, I don't understand - why should there be one on the target? (Note that the one on the flash disk at the point the copy happens is the old one anyway.) Jun 10 00:27:29 If you use -f to overwrite an already populated disk strange things can happen (e.g. if there are extra scripts in /etc/rc?.d or /etc/udhcpc.d) Jun 10 00:32:48 it might be useful to have a mode that overwrites all the system directories but leaves say /home alone Jun 10 00:32:55 and /usr/local Jun 10 00:35:11 Ah, that's easy: mv /mnt/home /mnt/.home; mv /mnt/usr/local /mnt/.local; rm -rf /mnt/* ... Jun 10 00:35:59 In other words it's very easy just to go into the directory and remove everything you don't need first. Jun 10 00:36:26 cool Jun 10 00:36:40 The problem for a script is that the list is difficult to guess - e.g. there is /opt too, and /share and so on. Jun 10 00:37:00 yeah I figures that might be an issue Jun 10 00:37:38 In fact I hope that it will hardly ever be necessary to do a turnup -i more than once. It's a real pain trying to restore configuration correctly... Jun 10 00:39:33 find / -mount -newer /etc/.configured ! -type d -print can also be very useful - there aren't many changed files in practice. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Jun 10 23:59:57 2005
