So I'm experiencing a strange problem with the CP command. When I try to copy a folder containing five WMV video files from an NTFS-formatted external USB drive to an internal UFS-formatted internal SATA drive, the copy process gets stuck on one of the files, approximately 150mb in size. What happens is the file keeps copying, and copying, and copying, all the while getting bigger, bigger and bigger in size.
The command I'm using is: [cmd=]cp -R "/mnt/Backup/Videos/" "/mnt/Data/Videos/"[/cmd]
After several minutes, the file balloons to dozens, than hundreds of gigabytes, which will not stop until I terminate the login. This seems incredibly bizarre. Is there any possible explanation, perhaps related to NTFS support, or something else?
I'm using the minimal version of FreeBSD 7.2 in FreeNAS, the network-attached server software.
Appreciate any theories,
- David
