 usbdrivetools - USB Drive Tools 


Simple bash tools that aim to help transfer files to USB Drive and monitor their syncing progress. 

Solving, so called, [USB-stick stall problem](https://lwn.net/Articles/572911/) (when files aren't fully copied even though they appear so on USB Drive).

------------

Requirements:

- `rsync` (for file transfer progress)

Tools available:

- `usbcp` - USB Drive enhanced copy

- `usbmv` - USB Drive enhanced move

- `usbdd` - USB Drive enhanced ISO image writing tool

- `usbumount` - USB Drive enhanced umount

- `usbeject` - USB Drive enhanced eject

-----

## Installation

Clone the repo:

    git clone git@github.com:satk0/usbdrivetools.git

Symlink scripts to `/usr/local/bin/` (recommended, copying to external usb drives requires `sudo`):

    sudo ln -s "$PWD"/scripts/* /usr/local/bin/

or to `~/.local/bin/` (`sudo` would not be able to access the scripts):

    ln -s "$PWD"/scripts/* ~/.local/bin/

**NOTE:** Run those commands from project directory!
