next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I have had my system crash (always) while cp'ing or mv'ing either
of two files from floppy (3.5") to HD. Both before and after I have moved
other files (of about the same size, some larger and some smaller) from the
same floppy to HD. Attached (in UNIX format) are dmesg from around that
runtime, and the contents of the window in which I typed the cp , mv
commands with the system responses to them and messages that appeared in a
root window. Preceding that latter stuff is the uname -a from my
machine.
Well, I was going to attach stuff as stated above, but each time I tried
hotmail.com seemed to disconnect and then ask me for my password again,
and nothing got done. (I tried this several times on two different
computers.) Microsoft sticks it to us again!!!! So I will place the text
of those files below.

Who is the guru on cp and mv , and how do I contact him/her? I
would like to know if something like this has been reported before and what
is known about it. Right now, I have split those two big files into much
smaller ones and I will repeat the attempted cp and mv with the smaller
files (they are about 25K long each).
By the way, these files are splits of a compressed ASCII file, I was
trying to see if a problem with a gigantic file (over 100MB ) on one UNIX
system is also present in freeBSD .
