Thread: Copying large files


so had few large files copy, 5gb each. from/to same partition. start copy, says '3 minutes left', think....a quick solitare game. , poof...system hangs. nada. nothing. wait 5 minutes, , nada...mouse not working. power down, reboot. , of course new directory copying doesn't exist after reboot. really?

there known problem using nautilus copy large files?
better way?

code:
rsync -av --progress /path/to/source/directory /path/to/target/directory
works great me..
