This is a perfect place to use rsync to perform the copy as well as to verify that the files are identical. With the proper flags, you can also resume an interrupted rsync where it was stopped at without having to copy all the previously moved data all over again. Flags I normally use are --progress and --partial dafr _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
