[Voyage-linux] Copying data between /ro and /rw

[Pascal de Bruijn]

Hi,

I noticed something peculiar when data is being copy forward and
backward between /ro and /rw. 


mountall.sh:
------------
tar -C /ro -cf - . | tar -C /rw -xf -  > /dev/null 2>&1

voyage-util:
------------
cp -Rp $DIR/* /ro$DIR/

Why is tar piped to tar in one case and a plain copy in the other case?

Regards,
Pascal de Bruijn
