Then I login as "root". Sorry, I know it's risky....
Yes. Read the
man page for
sudo.
Well let's just see exactly what is going on. Using Terminal on your new machine,
copy and paste the following into the Terminal window,
one line at a time, with a return after each line:
ls -al /Volumes/
nireport . /users uid gid name realname home | awk '$1>500 {print $0}'
diskutil info /
Post
all the output, including the commands, here.
Now go to the original machine, and using Terminal, do the second and third commands on that. You do
not need to be
root to do this. Again post the output.
The copy works fine, the Owner is set as "admin" and the group is "unknown", this is on all the files and folders.
Well, this isn't fine, since the
man page for
ditto says:
<pre>
The resulting files, links, and
devices will have the same mode, access time, modification time, owner,
and group as the source items from which they are copied.
</pre>But we'll see what's wrong from the output you post.
