Okay, it's me again. We tried the tar cvf - . | rsh other "( cd / && tar xpf - )" variation and it segfaults too. What's the deal here? This is a FreeBSD 2.2.6, running from the CD's "fixit" shell. Finally we just extracted the drive from the system and jumpered it for use in the target system. However, I shouldn't have to do that just to xfer files across a network pipe! I do this under Linux all the time (and we know that BSD's TCP stack and networking tools are *supposed* to be better than *theirs*). So, I'm really curious what might be the problem. We also tried to use a PicoBSD "networking" boot diskette. That doesn't work since it apparently doesn't have a full version of cpio or tar --- and the on that's installed on the affected system's root fs is *not* statically linked. I was this close " to getting out a Tom's Root/Boot (rtbt) and trying it's UFS (readonly) support. (But I think I would've had to build a kernel for that and it's late). -- Jim Dennis, Proprietor, Starshine Technical Services (Linux Gazette "Answer Guy") To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
