I used this command to copy all directory to another disk:
cp -r -v path_folder_source path_folder_destination
The transfer ran alright - I mean I don't know if resulted any error, because I logged of the session tmux before the see all result of this command - but when I went compare a both folder a I saw different results:
- folder_source: 120,3 GB with 122534 items
- folder_destination: 118,7 GB with 122511 items
My questions is:
- I did this with command correctly?
- Why has difference between folder, supposedly equal?
cp -rvn /path/to/src /path/to/dest
the n that I added will prevent cp from overwriting files that already exist.
