Maybe netcat over > UDP? :-) I do recall, long ago, things like NFS or Samba failing. They'd abort or just seem to cease working part way through a lot of traffic. Like when I'd set up a new server, and then copied all the old data from the old server onto the new server. That's static files, by the way, not files that could change in the middle of the procedure. But I don't think get something like dd from a NFS source simply failing without you being able to tell that it'd failed. You'd, surely, get some error warning you about failure. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1127.19.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Aug 25 17:23:54 UTC 2020 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
