Using tar i normally create an archive etc and then unpack that archive, job done.
But i am copying from one filesystem to another on the same host, they are 2 seperate nfs filesystems, and i wonder is it possible to use tar to do this as opposed to say rsync etc.
tar -cvf /some/input/dir to/here etc ?
I believe it goes something like:
cd /some/input/dir tar cvf - . | (cd /to/here; tar xvf -)
