Cp freezing from Seagate HDD to Win7
Hello all,
Earlier I had a mac book and created a HFS+ file system on Seagate 1 TB external HDD, copied around 200 GB content. Now, I have a Windows 7 machine and wanted to copy the HDD contents to this new machine. Tried using MacDrive10 to mount HFS+ file system in Windows. Mouting is fine and am able to access the files. Problem that am facing is, sometimes copying the files from HDD to local disk goes to infinite freezing mode.
In such case, the only recover option that I have is to restart. Terminating the copy process only crashes the system and forcing it to reboot automatically. Instead of copying the files via explorer GUI, I tried to copy it programmatically with a script and even then its the same issue. Terminating the "cp" process with kill -2, -9 crashes the system. There isn't any display of CRC error or any others that is reported. I don't think the issue is with the file size, there are files that are of size ~1 GB being copied without any problem and smaller files of size ~40 MB creating problems. Those smaller files (~40 MB) that are getting into infinite freezing mode are viewable from windows explorer and if I copy the file, it works fine. So, I can't categorize the problem to be file size related problems. There total of ~25K objects definitely I need a better way of handling this problem.
I never had this problem when I used the external disk in a mac book - copying to and from between hdd and disk was quite smooth and there were no issues.
Any pointers? Thanks. I have searched enough on various forums but could not get a workable solution for my use case.

xfs_freeze
xfs_freeze(8) System Manager's Manual xfs_freeze(8)
NAME
xfs_freeze - suspend access to an XFS filesystem
SYNOPSIS
xfs_freeze -f | -u mount-point
DESCRIPTION
xfs_freeze suspends and resumes access to an XFS filesystem (see xfs(5)).
xfs_freeze halts new access to the filesystem and creates a stable image on disk. xfs_freeze is intended to be used with volume managers
and hardware RAID devices that support the creation of snapshots.
The mount-point argument is the pathname of the directory where the filesystem is mounted. The filesystem must be mounted to be frozen
(see mount(8)).
The -f flag requests the specified XFS filesystem to be frozen from new modifications. When this is selected, all ongoing transactions in
the filesystem are allowed to complete, new write system calls are halted, other calls which modify the filesystem are halted, and all
dirty data, metadata, and log information are written to disk. Any process attempting to write to the frozen filesystem will block waiting
for the filesystem to be unfrozen.
Note that even after freezing, the on-disk filesystem can contain information on files that are still in the process of unlinking. These
files will not be unlinked until the filesystem is unfrozen or a clean mount of the snapshot is complete.
The -u flag is used to un-freeze the filesystem and allow operations to continue. Any filesystem modifications that were blocked by the
freeze are unblocked and allowed to complete.
One of -f or -u must be supplied to xfs_freeze.
NOTES
A copy of a frozen XFS filesystem will usually have the same universally unique identifier (UUID) as the original, and thus may be pre-
vented from being mounted. The XFS nouuid mount option can be used to circumvent this issue.
In Linux kernel version 2.6.29, the interface which XFS uses to freeze and unfreeze was elevated to the VFS, so that this tool can now be
used on many other Linux filesystems.
