pax
Hi Gurus,
I need to restart the copy through the pax command from where it got left out since the drive to which I was copying to got unmounted accidentally.
When I tried my usual way -
pax -rw
pax: Unable to remove directory ...
Thanks,
Allan

You may have to remove it first.

Re: pax
The 'pax' utility does not have restart point capability. Empty the destination directory and restart your copy.

Re: pax
Thanks for replying so quickly, any other alternate command which can do that for me instead of deleting the previously copied stuff.
Please share.
Thanks,
Allan.

I suppose that you could add the '-u' switch to your copy (see the 'pax' manpages). I am not sure that this is going to gain you any speed when compared to deleting everything copied thus far and beginning again, though.

Re: pax
It may take longer to do the mickey mouse commands than to restart. It's already been 11+ minutes.
If you want to "restart", you'll need to invoke pax(1) in a subtree and redo for each directory that wasn't copied. And if you have a partial copy, you'll need to remove and restart.
Much safer to redo everything, unless you think doing a dircmp(1) is faster.
