massive copy

[Frank Bonnet <f.bonnet@esiee.fr>]

Hello

I have to copy around 250 Gb from a server to a Netapp NFS server
and I wonder what would be faster ?

first solution

cp -pr * /mnt/nfs/dir/

second solution ( 26 cp processes running in // )


for i in a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z
do
cp -pr $i* /mnt/nfs/dir/ &
done


Thank you
