well ive using Linux Zorin and my issue was trying to copy over my home folder to an external drive while my computer is booted on a iso ( bootable usb drive ) as ive messed up my sdd and it now doest bootup properly so im doing a new install, this time i hope to install windows 7 then zorin OZ successfully or just Zorin OS, im not sure if i should dual boot or do linux with virtual machine.
what i did :
install caja ( through command line or software store )
run caja as root ( i used command line and run it as ROOT )
copy and paste my files i wanted, skipped the stuff that didnt want to copy and hopefully the ones i dont care about )
DONE.
for me 20gb of my home folder is taking forever, the few minutes it has been feels like an internity right now.
Hope this helps anyone even with all my rambling here.
man
to me is cryptic. In this case,man
at-r
sayssame as --preserve=mode,ownership,timestamps
. How was I supposed to know that means keep the original permissions!? – Kolob Canyon Nov 15 '16 at 0:33-p

; it means change mode. Nomenclature! Gotta love it. – gillytech May 10 '20 at 23:09
