List of FreeNas Commands

Here are some helpful FreeNas (freebsd) commands that I always seem to forget when I need them most. Hope they can help you as much as they’ve helped me.

cp -iprv

1. Here is a sample command:
   

   cp -iprv /cdrom/distfiles/ /usr/ports/distfiles/

2. Here are what the switches stand for:
   

   i      Interactive.  Will prompt you if overwriting files.

   p      Preserve file attributes like date, time, etc.

   r      Recursive.  Will also copy subdirectories.

   v      Verbose. Will show each file as it is copied.
