[Ma-linux] Having problems copying data using cp over nfs

[Jay Hart]

I am in the process of standing up my NAS server.  I am trying to copy off all
my users Maildir directories to the NAS box as a file backup.

So, my account on the box, has 93MB of data in the Maildir folder, in 160
subfolders and includes 3217 files. (reported by fish)

What I have managed to copy over is 7.3MB of data, in 160 folders, and 553
files were copied over.

I used the following command:

cp -r /home/jhart/Maildir/* /mntpoint/email/home/jhart/Maildir

I figured this would recursively copy all files under the Maildir dir to the
new location.

Why didn't all files get copied over? What did I do wrong? What would work?

TIA,

Jay Hart
