That's not the case.
| root@snowyowl:~# mount -v
| /dev/hda3 on / type ext2 (rw)
| none on /proc type proc (rw)
| /dev/hda1 on /mnt/dos/C type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=50,umask=007,iocharset=koi8-r,codepage=866,quiet)
| /dev/hda4 on /mnt/dos/D type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=50,umask=007,iocharset=koi8-r,codepage=866,quiet)
As you can see, there's only hda and /tmp is under hda3. No other
disk operations were performed -- except maybe usual syslogd or crond
activity.
Running the copy against ext2 dir goes well, while doing the same
against vfat dir changes things drastically.
Regards,
Willy.
