Error copying files
I have installed Solaris 10 on a Sunblade 150 (512 MB RAM) successfully. But when I create a new directory and try to copy a 40 MB file to it it stops after about 37 MB and gives an error "I/O error" while copying. I have 40GB of Hard Disk. What is the problem?

A 40GB disk has file system overhead. In other words if you make a 100GB slice/disk not all 100GB can be used for file storage. Some is reserved for file system (ufs, zfs) use.

Please show the output of:
Code:
df -h
# if the file is a unix file please show the output of:
ls -l [problem filename]

Please post:
Quote:
ls -lad name_of_big-file
Please also post:
Code:
Command used to copy this file.

Plus the exact error message received verbatim.

No visible issue with copying a 40 Mb file, but it does depend on where the file is being copied from an to.

I have been trying to copy a file from a USB stick which was formatted with FAT. I changed this to NTFS and now USB stick is not being recognized. I think the problem is the USB stick. If so, how do I fix it?
