How to cpio a user dir to remote FS?

by scifiman . Updated 24 years, 11 months ago

Solaris 2.6 on 3 hosts. All of my users are on one Sun and have /export/home maxed out all the time. I want to divide them up into thirds and spread them out across all 3 boxes. I am exporting the other /export/home/xxx directories which is working, so I can set the user home dir to /net/oswald/export/home/david for example.

My problem is that I need to relocate those users entire home directory tree to the remote file systems. I tried “find david -print | cpio -pdlua /net/oswald/export/home/david” but get the error
Error during access() of “/net/harold/export/home”, errno 13, Permission denied. and then the usage.

Is is possible to copy their tree to another box or just locally? Is there another or better way to do this?Thanks!
David
