doing a very large copy under linux 29gb or so, and when i get to about 3gb, it complains that the device has no space left. what i have is a hard disk mounted on /mnt/hd2 this is a 40gb freshly format ext2 partition on mnt/source are the 29gb of files i would like to transfer from /mnt/source to /mnt/hd2 however after about 3gb of transfers cp reports that there is no space left on device, if i look at /dev/hda1 it is in fact full why would this occur when i am transferring files from two completely different sources /mnt/source is actually an smbfs mount another thing to note rsync also dies at about this point as well thanks
