In the Linux GUI, lack of options during copy and move made me lose countless hours.
Which GUI? There are many.
When there are problems, there is no way to pause and resume later, no way to see a list of problems, for example the files skipped during auto-skip, and when aborted, the complete hierarchy of directories are found in the target place, many empty depending on when the operation was halted. This makes resuming the task unnecessarily difficult.
Don't use a GUI. Use rsync.
Now i want to copy my home folder to a backup disk, but copy says the 600MB are really 67GB ... Why could that be ?
Maybe you have sparse files. Do you use [ae]mule o equivalent? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
