The utility makes several assumptions including where storage appears in a filing system, available storage on external volumes and handling of special filehandes (if any). For efficient use, it also assumes that disk buffers are sufficiently large for parallel copying to multiple volumes. (Copying may be exceptionally slow if available buffers are exceeded.) It also assumes that sync is a reliable checkpoint operation and this is known to be a fraught assumption.
Mass Duplication Of Files Onto External USB Storage
In response to SID22548, CID596405, regarding quick duplication of files onto external USB storage, I wrote a utility for this purpose. Buy some 10 port USB hubs or suchlike. Buy required storage. Run utility and mount first batch of USB storage units. Press return key. When prompted, unmount storage. Press return key. Repeat as required.
