That has always been the case, both when it worked prior to Karmic, and when it failed with Karmic.
Somewhere in this history you should also find that I tried copying to an extn formatted partition with the same failure. Today, I applied all updates to my KUbuntu 64-bit AMD 10.10 system and re-ran the test twice: NTFS USB drive: Couldn't read some hidden socket files nor the Firebird data directory. All understandable. FAT-32: Same issues as above plus it could not write most/all ".evolution" directories...it appears the full blow file name was just too long, so all email basically lost. No symlinks were copied. Did not get a single overwrite error message about upper and lower case file names conflicting, which was the original complaint in this bug. -- Roland Hughes, President Logikal Solutions (630)-205-1593 http://www.theminimumyouneedtoknow.com http://www.infiniteexposure.net No U.S. troops have ever lost their lives defending our ethanol reserves.
