Hi, I'm trying to backup my music collection on a msdos/fat formatted external harddrive. After copying some files, the process 'hangs'. I'm copying with xfe (gui-file manager) but cp does the same. I'm not sure when the error exactly occurs. It might be when a specific file is being operating on but I'm absolutly not sure.
$ sudo disklabel /dev/sd0c disklabel: warning, DOS partition table with no valid OpenBSD partition # /dev/sd0c: type: SCSI disk: SCSI disk label: 1600BEVExternal flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 32 tracks/cylinder: 64 sectors/cylinder: 2048 cylinders: 152627 total sectors: 312581808 rpm: 3600 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # microseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # microseconds drivedata: 0 16 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg] c: 312581808 0 unused 0 0 # Cyl 0 -152627* i: 312576642 63 MSDOS # Cyl 0*-152625* $ sudo mount -t msdos /dev/sd0i /mnt/usbdevice $ xfe Copying.... Suddenly, xfe stops responding. After the error, I try to change the directory to /mnt/: $ cd /mnt/u [TAB] This shell hangs. I try to reboot and got the message: "syncing disks..." After a few minutes I reset the machine (maybe to early??) and the system reboots and warns me '/' is not unmounted properly.
