I’m running NetBSD 9.1 on an amd64k system.  Wanted to preserve some files from 
an old Windows-XP system so I initialized a USB stick on Windows and copied the 
files to it - well most of them.  One file was too large to fit so the copy of 
that file failed when it “ran of the end of the USB stick”.  No problem I 
thought, I’d just copy what was on the USB stick, delete all the files from it 
and go back and copy that one file that initially didn’t fit.

I should have removed the failed file from the USB first but I didn’t and just 
took it to my NetBSD system to do a “cp -r /usb /archive”.  When it got to the 
one file that had failed to copy correctly it copied all the bytes that were 
there then “cp” hung and couldn’t or wouldn’t move to the next file it should 
have found on the USB.  At that point I couldn’t kill the “cp” process and the 
only way I was able to clear it out was to reboot the entire system.

Known issues with NetBSD 9.1, or is this something new and if so should I file 
a PR?

Thanks,
