- That's because NFS is a steaming foetid pile of mature dingo's droppings.
- I do this on UNIX all the time, using OpenNET:
-
- find . -print | cpio -ocvB > //remotesys/dev/rmt0
-
- Or whatever format you want. I also dup disks the same way:
-
- dd if=//remote/dev/rw1e bs=18k of=/dev/rw1e
-
- NFS problems aren't UNIX problems, they're NFS problems. Would you even
- consider attempting this sort of operation under Novell Nightmare on DOS?
-
- Not that there aren't problems, but this isn't one.
