Hi folks,
I have DSL 2.2b running on a partition of the HD. I want to duplicate it on partition-1 of a pendrive which has 800Mb space more than sufficient to take up DSL2.2b. Since both partitions are of unequal space I can't use "dd" command to do the job. Therefore I tried using.
# cp -aR /mnt/hda5/8 /mnt/sda1/Code Sample | ........ ........ cp: cannot create special file `/mnt/sda1/dev/ttyw6': Operation not permitted cp: cannot create special file `/mnt/sda1/dev/ttyw7': Operation not permitted cp: cannot create special file `/mnt/sda1/dev/ttyw8': Operation not permitted cp: cannot create special file `/mnt/sda1/dev/ttyw9': Operation not permitted cp: cannot create special file `/mnt/sda1/dev/ttywa': Operation not permitted cp: cannot create special file `/mnt/sda1/dev/ttywb': Operation not permitted cp: cannot create special file `/mnt/sda1/dev/ttywc': Operation not permitted cp: cannot create special file `/mnt/sda1/dev/ttywd': Operation not permitted cp: cannot create special file `/mnt/sda1/dev/ttywe': Operation not permitted cp: cannot create special file `/mnt/sda1/dev/ttywf': Operation not permitted ... |
I have to force-stop the process.
Is there a way to do the job. If YES, the what command line shall I use? TIA
Remark: the DSL on /dev/hda5 was not running. I ran a LiveCD to do the job.
