Hardware How to transfer data between microSD cards for use on Nintendo Switch... Using macOS?

[sarkwalvein]

This may seem like a dumb question, specially when Nintendo already has a guide on this topic:
http://en-americas-support.nintendo...ween-microsd-cards-for-use-on-nintendo-switch

But after "following" the guide and trying the microSD on Switch, I get a fabulous "Error 2016-0247 Unable to access microSD card.". So well, that asks for a hw2test, or the Linux/macOS equivalent, F3... After 2 hours testing a 200GB card the results are "all OK". Puzzling.

Then, googling around I find this is a "problem on macOS" regarding how it copies the files and folders, a PITA...

So I wanted to know, if any someone knows about it, if you can successfully copy your data from old SD to new SD on Linux, or if there is a method to do it on macOS High Sierra, or if the only way is to use Windows for it.

You know, copying 64Gb of data around on a microSD takes time, so if I'm not sure doing it on Linux will make the Switch stop complaining, then I guess I will look for a Windows machine, I guess I should go to the library... Or back to the office.

Hell, what a drag.
