The files created were in mnay cases duplicates and some appeared as directories rather than as files. Somehow a directory, which was totally uninvolved in the copy, was turned into a large file! I found that if I forced the file names to all be in 8.3 format I could sucessfully copy them. This was with a kernel from March 30. I finally ended up saving as much of the contents from the CF as possible and newfs_msdos'ing the card. > Any other possibilities?

The MP3-player has a MSDOS FS and many of the files had very long names. So apparently something has been fixed since March 30, but I don't know what. [OT] Today for some reason the same kernel which ran OK yesterday is spontaneously rebooting, and a kernel made yesterday from updated sources also just reboots, so I was forced to go back to the kernel from March 30. --- Gary Jennejohn / garyjATjennejohnDOTorg gjATfreebsdDOTorg garyjATdenxDOTde
