No messages is /var/log/messages -------------------- I see other unexpected behavior; when I copy to identical files that are exactly 1/2 of 1.4 MB long # ll f1 f2 -rw-r--r-- 1 mac wheel 737280 Nov 15 02:53 f1 -rw-r--r-- 1 mac wheel 737280 Nov 15 02:54 f2 Each of these is 1440 sectors (std 512-byte sectors); I know the diskette is 'perfect' (no defects), yet when I write both of these files to the mounted "/a" filesystem, only f1 gets fully written, and then it complains there's not enough room for f2: # cp f2 /a cp: /a/f2: No space left on device arm64# ll /a total 2592 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 737280 Nov 15 08:06 f1* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 589824 Nov 15 23:59 f2* If I rm /a/f2 and then write it again, there is even less 'space': # rm /a/f2 arm64# cp f2 /a cp: /a/f2: No space left on device arm64# ll /a total 1568 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 737280 Nov 15 08:06 f1* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 65536 Nov 16 00:00 f2* Thanks, again for any pointers / suggestions.
