Faster copying files in linux from one disk to another
->I want to copy a file in linux system from one disk to another disk.....now the problem is...i have got a million files in my one directory of disk-1....i want to make the process of copying faster.
->if i zip it.....the time i am saving there...is used in uncompressing them.
->parallelizing the task may also not help because acc to me the disk is having only one head.....so reading from disk anyhow will be sequentially only
