The directory entry pointer may be overflowed... 250GB partition, FAT32 LBA (partition type 0x0c i think). The problem is verry inconsistent as i said earlier, so the number of files in a directory doesn't seem to matter, nor do the depth in the directory structure. Some files i manage to copy yo the disk, some files i don't... I havent managed to find any pattern in what files this affects. -- Peder Stray - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
