Cleaning up CF's used on a mac
Mac owners have a habit of cluttering up disks that will be used on other
systems with files like .DS_Store ._.DS_Store and ._SOmeName. Every time a folder is opened on a mac, at a minimum, a .DS_Store file will be created. The following commands are useful : Code:
# cd to where ever your CF card is mounted on your mac cd /Volumes/CFILIAD # find all files with name .DS_Store and delete the rascals # from the volume find . -name \.DS_Store | xargs rm # find all files in directorys in and below the current # and remove all files that start with a ._ find . -name \._\* | xargs rm # Remove all files and directories in directories in and below the current # that look like .Trashes find . -name \.Trashes | xargs rm -rf Its is a good idea to drop off the xargs stuff first to see exactly which files will be feed to xargs an then to the rm or rm -rf command. Note the .Trashes files are directories and so one needs to add the -rf to the rm command. After you have cleaned up the card you can back it up to a folder on your Mac by using a simple rsync command. Code:
#!/bin/sh # Note this does not delete files from the target # Add --delete to delete files on the target that are not on the source rsync -av --delete /Volumes/CFILIAD/ /Users/jerry/CardBackup Jerry |
