I am experiencing strange bu results, most likely bc of how I am running bu. Installed as user byers [byers@bootp ~]$ echo $PATH /usr/lib/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/home/byers/pkg/bin:/home/byers/bin:/home/byers/pkg/bin running bu as root, but root via (su) not via (su -) bc I didnt change root's path In the past I thot I had run su as root exactly this way without problems And I haven't changed bu config as far as I can recall. Now in /rh8 which contains lib, var ... from an old kubuntu test backing up lib to an external usb disk su # bu -d /media/disk-1/bukubuinst lib copies a link, but not the accompanying file in this same lib dir eg ]# cd /rh8 [root@bootp rh8]# cd lib [root@bootp lib]# pwd /rh8/lib [root@bootp lib]# ls -l *kid* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Dec 27 2006 libblkid.so.1 -> libblkid.so.1.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 27656 May 12 2006 libblkid.so.1.0 both a link file and the file itself are seen the result on usb disk: root@bootp lib]# pwd /media/disk-1/bukubuinst/rh8/lib [root@bootp lib]# ls -l *kid* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Feb 24 09:04 libblkid.so.1 -> libblkid.so.1.0 [root@bootp lib]# only the link and this is same for many other links,files inside /rh8/lib advice? am I just doing something plain wrong by not having the bu /pkg in root's path?
