comment Lots of text files into one big text file
@Patrick. No, that's the other way round. + is standard, and GNU find was one of the last ones to support it (in 2005).

However not that that assumes none of the file names contain SPC, TAB, Newline, single quote, double quote or backslash characters.

comment How do I resize a disk image device?
@endolith, if in doubt, you can always do a losetup -r --sizelimit=27000832000 /dev/loop0 datapartition and check that that loop0 is OK (set the sizelimit to 26900832000, and you'll see you can't mount it).

comment Excluding a directory name in a zsh recursive glob
Why would you spend some time finding out whether your files have or have not dashes or backslashes (and let other readers find out by themselves when they can't guarantee that) instead of just write the bulletproof right thing like printf '%s\n' **/* or print -rl -- **/*?

But here, there's no partition table to adjust.

comment not getting desired output with cut command?
@JoelDavis, GNU or busybox cut may not handle multibyte character delimiters but other like heirloom toolchest's or ksh93 builtin ones do. Similarly some awk implementations like mawk don't support multibyte characters very well (try mawk -F'[áóíúýé]' '{print $2}' for instance)
