the copy was completed but will note them in my handydandy notebook . alex wrote:
I've been trying to copy the contents of a partition (source) to another partition (destination) that has a large numberof files that need to be overwritten. The command I've tried is: # cp -apRv source/* /destination/The command works but it requires that I manually respond 'yes' for each overwrite. I thought that the r or R optionwould do an automatic overwrite but apparently it doesn't.What should the option be to do automatic overwrites with the ' cp ' command?
