Is there something wrong with this command?
[root@box9 simple]# scp -r bobg@box8:/home/bobg/
/run/media/bobg/Simple/Box8BkU
I would like to copy the contents [roughly 44G per du -h] of
/home/bobg/ on box8 to an external USB 500G hard drive. The problem
is that it appears to be trying to keep recopying the files until
the 500 gigs is reached. I let it run until the end yesterday and it
quit protesting it had run out of space.
I thought I had made an error entering the command and started again
from scratch [after rm -fr] but it looks like it was doing the same
thing now and I stopped it. Watching the screen I can see it is
recopying the same files, du -h shows 228G on the external drive and
it was still going when I stopped it. The source drive shows 44G ...
What am I doing wrong?
Bob
