I am trying to do a full backup of my home directory on an SSD drive with about 70 GB of content via a straight folder to folder copy in Dolphin. When I did the copy, the process reported a file could not be read. I answered Skip and it continued. A short while later it reported another file could not be read. I answered Auto Skip. Then I went to bed. When I woke it, it appeared that the process had completed, but that only 69 of the 70 GB had been copied, ie there were a lot of unreadable files. I pulled the drive from the laptop and installed it into another working system as a data drive. The drive is formatted EXT4. It has 3 partitions, /boot, swap and /. When I run fsck on it, it reports its clean. [root@server me]# fsck /dev/sdb1 fsck from util-linux 2.20.1 e2fsck 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010) /boot: clean, 300/150600 files, 178166/610436 blocks [root@server me]# fsck /dev/sdb2 fsck from util-linux 2.20.1 fsck: fsck.swap: not found fsck: error 2 while executing fsck.swap for /dev/sdb2 [root@server me]# fsck /dev/sdb3 fsck from util-linux 2.20.1 e2fsck 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010) /: clean, 1063293/37126144 files, 29660166/37120190 blocks I ran the process again and tried to nano the files that its reporting it can't read. Nano can't open them either and they are not binary files. Where do I go from here ? How would I best do a command line copy such that it doesn't stop at the files it can't read and it creates a log of them ? (What does cp --force do ?)
