I was moving a directory full of movies from one spot on my truenas scale to another. There were issues so I needed to start again. In order to prevent loss I switched to rsync but truenas scale does not have rsync available on the command line so I looked up how to copy a directory to another directory without overwriting… cp -r --no-clobber . This is my first time ever using the no-clobber options, I did not know it existed until chatgpt made the suggestions. So I will pour a shot in the never tried this command before drinking game.

No clobber I just love how that sounds.
