Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Moving a Directory Across File Systems -- Unix
Look up "cp -R" (read the output of 'man cp' first). Used correctly,
this will do the recursive copy that you need. Then you can "rm -rf" the
old stuff after you copy it. CAREFUL!!! Read the man pages first.

To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L
I need to free about 600 MB of space on a Unix file system so that I can
create an export dump file of a database. Our sys admin is out of the
office and I am trying to move a directory (it contains sub-directories)
across file systems. According to the manual I have, mvdir only works
within a file system; and I cannot find a command to copy a directory.
Is
there a way to do this??
Thanks,
