do the run on another (file) system if possible.

Maybe run the various df's periodically alongside in another terminal.
So you can see what grows.
You could use 'watch' for that or write a simple script.
Include a 'date' command in this. And also put a 'date' after the csplit.
This might help correlate the output.
Include both filesystems in the df's.
Succes!

It was all so different before everything changed.
the manpage of bash:
Quote Removal
After the preceding expansions, all unquoted occurrences of the
characters \, ', and " that did not result from one of the
above expansions are removed.

find is the path to go.

I think it is nice to have.
What about only printing the total?
With 'wc --total' or 'wc -t'.

nothing and echo what would be done.
Other options, like -f, -r and -i also may need some thought w.r.t. --dry-run.
The short form could be -s. Alternatives --simulate, ...
'apt-get' uses these.
Other utilities might also profit from such an option, e.g. 'mv'.
But i am not a maintainer either.
