hello all, I have a windows xp machine (sp2) and I am running VMWare on it. in the VMWare I have installed slackware 10.2 with kernel 2.6.13 and all is working fine. however I am trying to copy a large amount of files and folders in a directory tree structure to a pen drive having ext2 files system. the problem is that when I do it on a fat pen drive it works well but when I do it with a pen drive having ext2 or ext3 fs the system gets crashed and vmware gives an error. I have to reboot the slackware system du to the vertual machine error it gives. any idea what could be the problem? thanks, Krishnakant. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
