centos6 - how can i move a lot of files on centos from one directory to another? -
i have been trying move lot of files on centos 6, 1 directory another; talking thousands of .wav
recordings fill 230 gb.
i use crontab it, , have command:
find /var/spool/asterisk/backups/ -name ".wav" -exec mv /usr/src/scripts/ {} \
the question want use cp
first instead of mv
see how works, doesn't make anything, how know if 1 above mv
works?
if it's not many files
mv /var/spool/asterisk/backups/*.wav /usr/src/scripts/
if have huge amount of files fail long command line , "find" can take forever since moves files 1 @ time (and in case wrong way, src dest not dest src)
you can use like
find /var/spool/asterisk/backups/ -name "*.wav"|xargs -n 100 mv --target-directory=/usr/src/scripts/
then move 100 files @ time, should speed things little.
to see can prefix "echo" in "echo mv ...|head" , copy&paste 1 line output.
to test little can use "cp -a" instead of mv
