It's a tar of dante's home directory.
Alternatively, it's a tar of the whole fossil partition.
Again alternatively, I piclone the system to a new SD disk.
Of course, it might be my Pi or my powered USB hub (I use one) or my SD
cards (I have more than one).
The problem is that I can't isolate the origin of the error...
Thanks!

Try putting the memory stick on a powered usb hub and see if that

better.
I did, and for this reason I suspect the USB driver and not the power
supply.
Where is the large file coming from? I've just copied some 100MB files
from /dev/zero and from a 9p server to /n/sdU0.0, with no problem.
Maybe something about your particular memory stick is less compatible
with Plan 9?
