Greetings,

I've got about 90G worth of music in my collection and wanted to use the terminal to copy it to my phone's MicroSD card. I used cp and the phone reported that the card was corrupted. Looking further into it, I noticed that cp had dumped a bazillion ._ resource fork files on the card, which I assume is the issue. Is throwing the exclude EA and resource forks flag (-X) enough to resolve it or should I be using another tool?

I'd actually love to use rsync locally to the card, but suspect it will throw more garbage on the card.

Thoughts appreciated.
