If your goal is just making the copy, I can see no reason to go over the network for it :)

scp -r /tmp/test /tmp/test, without any hostname references does seem to call cp indeed, as the error message is exactly the same as cp -r /tmp/test /tmp/test.

comment Interesting Secure Copy Behavior
I carried out a simple test and the behaviour with cp is different, as it doesn't allow to copy a directory over itself: $ cp -r /tmp/test /tmp/test (line break) cp: cannot copy a directory, ‘/tmp/test’, into itself, /tmp/test/test’. With the scp line you supplied an infinite recursion takes place.

Which switches did you use with scp? Do you have the full command line?

comment Why my partitions don't show the right capacity on a 4096 byte physical block hard drive?
Alexios, thanks for the tip. It didn't change though. I issued a partprobe before making the filesystems and after a reboot it kept the same (results on the recent edit).

Showing /proc/partitions after reboot, pointing out the system is considering less blocks for the 4096 byte partitioning than the 512 byte one

comment How to load HID kernel module from the kernel command line?
@AlanCurry, I always keep the old kernel for these cases, but since I upgraded the existing packages but forgot to install the new ones (I use Slackware), somehow something went missing and even the old one wouldn't load any modules, also leaving me out. I solved it by booting from an USB stick, chrooting to the system partition and then finishing the upgrade. Anyway, I think the question is still valid, since having loaded the usbhid module would have saved me a lot of hassle. For now I just recompiled it statically into the kernel.
