Ok, how is it possible that I get perm denied when I'm copying files in console. Any ideas?

permission denied while copying files with root

/ is not a file or a directory, please try cp -r /* destination
you might also consider to use rsync instead.

Which child of / gave the issue? Maybe try copying children one by one until you find it. I've had a similar issue with writing to files or directories associated with devices, but to get permission denied on just a read seems odd. – BigChief – 2011-05-09T12:37:47.847
