I use cp as my backup tool from disk to USB. There are maybe 40,000
files involved and each one has a message of
"cp: preserving permissions for <file>â: Not supported". These messages
slow down the backup and obscure meaningful faults. Is there any option
for removing the messages?
My command line is: cp <directory> /<usb>
thanks
