Except that someone on the gentoo list claims that cp will silently
copy corrupted files, but rsync will not... which is a pretty good
reason to use rsync over cp (I was looking for specific reasons why
to use one over the other)...<br>
<br>
Anyway, I'm thinking now that the 'best of both worlds' might be to
do the cp first on the live system, then boot into single user mode
(is it safe to change the /usr mount point/location when in single
user mode?), then do a quick rsync, which should then identify any
corrupt files ... ?<br>
