Hi All,
There exist a threaded and (even MPI-parallel) 'cp' for large/parallel filesystems.

It is a bit of pain to build as it patches a particular version of GNU coreutils.

What did it get your cp time down to from 90 days?
Hi,
About 6 days it takes, using 2 nodes with 6 cp processes on each of them, using MPI-parallel version of cp and copying from one shared FS (Lustre) to another (NFS). Threaded version of cp (i.e. on one node, several threads) was also tried but the speedup was less than when copying form the two clients.
