Feature request: Speed limit and IOPS limit. #18

Closed vi closed 2 years ago

vi commented 2 years ago

Sometimes (especially when the 12309 or something gets in the way) unfortunate filesystem copy operation may affect the whole system.

One of workarounds may be limiting speed.

Ideally it should support setting or changing the limit after copy operation has already started (like with pv).

This will not be implemented. The express purpose of fcp is to copy files as fast as possible. If copying files too quickly is a concern in some instance, I would suggest using another tool at that time.
