Hmmmmm, slight glitch maybe. It listed some files with a question mark |
| 43 |
in it but not the ones I am looking for. So, is it possible that since |
| 44 |
it couldn't read the file it just skipped them? I used rsync to do the |
| 45 |
copy instead of cp. Maybe that is it or otherwise, I have a ton of |
| 46 |
directories to go diggin in to find them since it isn't the one I |
| 47 |
thought it was. |
