Being a good little computer user, when my macbook died, I had a nice backup of all my music on a NAS. Now I'd like to move the music back to my MacBook (actually, external hard drive, but still faster), but finder keeps choking. It's about 35,000 files and ~130 GB, but mainly the issue seems to be different file systems with different naming conventions (case sensitive vs not). My question:
Are there any fault tolerant solutions for this kind of copying? I tried rsyncx, and although it ran all night, it only copied 40 artist directories (of 2,800). Am I just out of luck?

What about moving a bit at a time? I'm sure the time you'd waste doing that would be less than the time you'd waste trying to move it all at once.

A viable option. Also a chance to whip up a little ruby script to do it. I was just hoping for a more elegant solution.

In the terminal:
cp -Rv /path/to/source /path/to/destination

Seconded. You have just experienced one of those "Fix The Friendly Finder"- moments that may or may not be addressed in the 'New Finder' in Leopard.

Will cp resolve name conflicts caused by case insensitivity?

I saw the OP mention it, but I don't really see how case sensitivity is an issue here.
