Well, the forums have certainly changed....
I'm running Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop edition 4 on a Dell SC420.
On a couple of occasions now, I've tried to copy a directory over to a usb flash drive (actally, a few flash drives), and in many cases -- not all -- subdirectories or files in the original directory are not fully copied. For instance, I'm copying ~/thesis, and subdirectories /chapter2 and /chapter3 will copy, subdirectories /chapter4 and /chapter5 won't, and the file /chapter2/othernotes.tex will be missing, even though the rest of the /chapter2 is there....
In some cases, the copy proceedes very fast--as in a copy status bar never appears. This is significantly faster than a similar copy operation in windows (taking 3-5 seconds).
So... um, help?
Thank you!
