Hi. My MacOSX::File is near completion. Now MacOSX::File::Copy copies files w/ Unicode names without a hitch. It is even slightly faster than MoreFile-based routine thanks to more elaborate copy buffer mechanism. And most of all, it successfully restored root volume! -- well, almost. I wrote a script called pcpmac, which does what CpMac do but with more care like avoiding cross-device traversal (so pcpmac -R /* /Volumes/backup will not clobber). It successfully copied everything on root volume. Then I switched startup volume to backup disk. MacOSX boots smoothly and... Startup Assistant appears. You can ssh to the machine with the same account and same key, every file is there. It's just Startup Assistant; Until you create a new account w/ that, it won't get me to Finder. The backup volume right after the copied is in the state that was not shut down. Is that the reason why? but if so, how loginwindow.app tells if Startup Assistant needs to be run? Is there anyone who nows about it? Fred? Dan the Man with Too Many Files to BrowseThread Next
