... why not just make ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES be the entire content
of the file list?
This way the file list flexes as needed (i.e. automagically copes
with added / removed drives etc) and gives a "zero admin" solution.
You will have to pay attention to the # of data streams that arise
(by default, you'll get a job per filesystem) but this also is a
one-time
setting.
Cheers,
Richard.
