file copy with progress?

[teddymills]

I am not sure how much it would slow the 'cp' process if the console 
displayed each file as it copied.
For 250GB, it depends on the filesizes.

I always started the 'cp process, opened another terminal, 'df -sh' 
periodically on whatever directory was being copied.
