Equivalent between rsync -aHr and cp -al

[Charles Nadeau]

Hi,

Just a quick question. I am looking for a replacement for the command "cp
-al" which has problems dealing with a massive amount of files
(http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2003-12/msg00028.html).

Could I use "rsync -aHr" to do _exactly_ the same thing as "cp -al"?

I just want to make sure before trying it.

Thanks for your help.

Charles
