Here’s a quick and dirty patch I put together for the svn version of extended-cp so it works with OSX. It’d be nice if at some point ‘cp’ got resume capability considering the nature of removeable mounts and such. Clearly at this point it only makes sense… Well, it makes sense to me. Of course the screams of heresy and reasons why it shouldn’t be done will ring out and I will wonder why I even bothered to bring it up.
If you think ‘cp’ should have resume capability please let me know and please don’t tell me about dd and how I should wrap that up if cp fails and/or other ways to do it. That’s not the point, the point is if ‘cp’ should have a flag that attempts to make an exacting copy if for some reason a dynamic mount is removed, becomes unavailable or something else fails.
