[GRASS-user] Copying Raster Maps to Another Partition/Disk

GRASS GRASS user

   I need to make space on my server's hard drive; the unclipped raster maps
for one project have taken all available space. I'm now formatting (ext3) an
external 3G hard drive for data storage use and want to move the large files
there, then work on isolating the project area on each one at a time.

   g.copy, according to the manual page, copies from another mapset in the
search path to the current mapset. What command should I use if I want to
copy a single raster map to another device (e.g., from ~/grassdata/project/
to /dev/sdb) to ensure that all relevant files are moved? The directory
structure of ~/grassdata/project is:

VAR cats/ cell_misc/ dbf/ hist/ windows/
WIND cell/ cellhd/ fcell/ vector/

and I want to move the raster maps dem_east and dem_west. Then I'll copy
back one at a time to work on it.

r.pack and r.unpack are two GRASS scripts for transferring raster maps to
anothr transferring raster maps to another computer as a single compressed
file incl

Helmut,

   Ah. No wonder they're not in the list of raster commands.

Thanks,
