owner and sticky bit problem

[Bernd Kloss]

Debian Lenny
cpio (GNU cpio) 2.9


Hello,

 I am trying to clone the root-partition with

for packing:

find . -depth -xdev  ! -path "./hda1/*" ! -path "./sicher/*" ! -path "./lost+found/*" |
cpio -a -o -H crc  -V  >  /hda1/sicher/hdc1-21-08-08.cpio

for unpacking:
cpio -i -d -m --no-absolute-filenames < ./sicher/hdc1-21-08-08.cpio

This has been working under SuSE 9.3/ cpio 2.5 and Debian/Etch perfectly.
The following problems occurred:

For /tmp and /var/tmp the sticky bit is not being copied.

All the homes belong to root:root with 755 instead of user:users.

Did I use wrong parameters?

Thank you for helping.

Bernd Kloss

Hi, several months ago I ran into this too. (And it's known before
that.) To work around, omit "-depth" in your find command; this loses
timestamps of directories but sets bits right (if directories are
created new during unpacking).

Have you tried the latest cvs version?
There are lot of fixes since version 2.9.
