Interesting (?) problem: I have two external usb 2.0 harddisks of 80 Gb each with an ext3 filesystem on it. They are used as exact copies of each other so from time to time I want to copy the data from one harddisk to the other.
There is where the problem is. As long as I copy say 1 Gb data everyone goes ok. But the harddisks contain more than 10 Gb data and somewhere during copying the copy itself hangs. The same result occurs everytime when I use cp or rsync or whatever. After the copy hangs the harddisks are still mounted but I do not see anything under the mount points. I mount the harddisks with the '-o=sync' option. When I do the same under Win'XP (with an ext2 filesystem driver) the copy is without any problems. Clearly I do not want to use XP. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this? Is there some magical other option I have to use when mounting them?
