Hi there,
My Linux file server has an ext3 partition for user's home directories. I
have just added a new and big ext3 partition.
I (root) would like to copy (cp) all users' files to the new partition. But
any files copied to the partition will change their ownership to root, and
permission to 755.
How can I keep their ownership and permissions?
Thanks in advance,
Ross
