Thank you all for the tips and fixes, I updated the code already.

Oops – type above!

tar cf – * | dd | (cd /Users/myusername; tar xf – )

By the way, you can use this method for copying filesystem structures between two computers as well with a slight modification:

tar cf – * | dd | ssh 10.0.1.132 ” cd /home/bob; dd | tar xvf – “

Much better option for the final stage is to run a back-to-back tar into a subshell. That way you preserve your files’ timestamps, permissions and also get all those hidden dot-files.

cd /Users/myusername.bak
tar cd – * | dd | ( cd /Users/myusername; tar xf – )

Barce, over here nignx 0.7 has no more stability issues.
passenger has been updated since then and well tested in 0.7 branch

This is pretty useful. Is nginx 7 still having errors?

Thanks!

wouldn’t it make sense to use a “lighter” fs than HFS+ in this case?

Why yes, yes indeed it’s useful. This has been on my not-important-enough-to-be-a-bug list since forever. I had no idea it would be so simple as file –raw –brief.

thanks for the tip!
