Definitely not saying it is damaged (just a possibility). but if it is
cp should be fine and the way i would do it as any file that is corrupt
should generate an error when its blocks are read. dd or gddrescue may
also work but damaged blocks are just going to be zeroed when copy
leaving you with damaged files, if its the root fs or a system
critical fs starting from scratch would be best and just tar up your
config dir
keep in mind this isnt a nslu specific problem, you may want to try
asking on some generic linux forums as well
