OK, here's what I tried:
1. mkdosfs -F 32 /dev/sdb1
/dev/sdb1 is my jukebox device
2. mount /dev/sdb1 /juke
3. ls /juke
/juke is empty
4. cp -r /mp3/songs /juke
/mp3 is a local mounted hard drive
The copy gets through about 1.5M and hangs. I've left it for over an hour now
without trying to kill it. It still hasn't come back. I can actually still do
'ls' in the /juke directory from another window but I can't do another write or
even a 'df' without it hanging.
Maybe it is related to the first-write read-back issue but mine never comes back
for some reason.
