On a binary mount, just running something through sed will remove \r ("^M") from the line ends without removing other occurrences of \r. /c> echo -e '1111\r22\r' | od -c 0000000 1 1 1 1 \r 2 2 \r \n 0000011 /c> echo -e '1111\r22\r' | sed -e 's/ / /' | od -c 0000000 1 1 1 1 \r 2 2 \n 0000010 Use of the sed -i option will modify files in place.
