what command to use ?

[galasrinnion]

Hello everybody
I would like to copy my home directory from /dev/ada0s3 (ghostbsd) to /dev/ada0s1 (salixOS).
What command should I use from the shell to do this ?

First you must mount your partitions on the system and copy the home directory.
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/mount-unmount.html and. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?mount(8)

Freebsd handbook is very useful!

So from the root shell as single user would The invocation be
# cp /home/galasrinnion /mnt/dev/sda1/home/saylixher/galasrinnion/

that is copying the home directory from ghostbsd (sda3) to slackware (sda1) home/saylixher/galasrinnion/ ??

Use

Code: Select all

cp -rf 

but yes it should do the work.

Is the slice naming convention different for BSD ? like /ad0s1 versus /sda1 (linux) ?? I am still unable to copy the home directory to the other slice.

What is your issue?

Hi again,
Trying to copy all of my home directory from ghostbsd /ada0s3 to the home directory on Salix /ada0s1.
I can't seem to invoke the correct command to do this. I am working as single user using shell as root.

I understand your problem. You are

Trying to copy all of my home directory from ghostbsd /ada0s3 to the home directory on Salix /ada0s1

.
How did you install your GhostBSD system?
You type this command

Code: Select all

 gpart show 

.
And you can mount your home directory on other system as Salix (GNU/Linux).
Does it support UFS?

Installed from cd-rom boots from grub2

Whn trying to mount the slice from Salix this is the response : Requested filesystem type is neither well-known nor in /proc/filesystems nor in /etc/filesystems
So it doesn't recognize UFS.

So it doesn't recognize UFS.

Maybe you should install and/or build a new kernel with support UFS for mount your slide of GhostBSD.

This would help you ... http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Linux+FreeBSD-5.html.
