From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How are you copying them? It could potentially be faster to use rsync. You can try mounting with noatime as a flag as well.
Oh boy, yes I remember I used to disable that shit ages ago in fstab, that's quite annoying that's still necessary!!!
How do you do that for USB sticks?
I'm pretty sure you can just mount it with mount and specify noatime
Ah yes of course, I just haven't used manual mount for almost a decade. So I completely forgot we used to do that. I have to unmount it first though, because USB sticks are automatically mounted.
