[H-GEN] cp incantation

[Doug South]

Hi All,

I've got a machine that has everything on one partition, which was OK
at the time, but is causing some pain now. I've got a free partition
and I want to move /usr from the root partition to the newly formatted
partition *without* kill anything that currently works.

I tried :

cp -L -preserve=all -r /usr /mnt/hda6

but some links weren't being created. I'm currently using midnight
commander to do this[1], but I want to know the right way to get it
done with cp. Any clues or suggestions?

Regards,
Doug

[1] Most likely not the right answer because I'm sure I'm losing
ownership, which is important if I really want to keep things working.

itself.
