Subject: [gentoo-user] Backing up /sys...
Date: Wed, 13 Jul 2005 11:41:26 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <011a01c587c1$54510180$0501a8c0@DELVAPBOS> (raw)

Hello,
        Is it possible to copy/backup the /sys directory while the system is
"live" with all filesystems mounted?  I have tried a few methods ie: cp,
cpio, and rsync, all as root.  I am getting various "Permission denied" and
"Invalid argument" errors.  Does anybody have any clear answers jump out at
them without me going into greater detail?
