Hi,
I want to replace the HDD of my sisters old MacBook by a SSD. Since she still has 10.6 installed, which was upgrade from 10.4 some time ago, I think it is best to make a fresh installation of 10.9. Of course we want to copy her data to the SSD. I want to do this with cpio using a nfs-mounted directory on my Linux server as a temporary storage place. This would be most convenient for me because I am familiar with the Unix commands - ok, I generally distrust graphical tools. Does this work on OS-X, i.e. does Apple's cpio handle all file attributes correctly?
