PS: As an example, when I try to copy a directory with mp3 files in it, I get
$cp -r ./a_tickle_in_the_heart_mp3/ /home/pau/ cp: a_tickle_in_the_heart_mp3/bei_mir_bistu_sheyn.mp3: Invalid argument cp: a_tickle_in_the_heart_mp3/chossn_kalah_mazel_tov.mp3: Invalid argument cp: a_tickle_in_the_heart_mp3/blessing_nigun.mp3: Invalid argument cp: a_tickle_in_the_heart_mp3/chassidic_dance.mp3: Invalid argument cp: a_tickle_in_the_heart_mp3/rosinkess_mit_mandlen.mp3: Invalid argument cp: a_tickle_in_the_heart_mp3/dance_of_the_souls.mp3: Invalid argument cp: a_tickle_in_the_heart_mp3/sweet_georgia_yiddelekh.mp3: Invalid argument cp: a_tickle_in_the_heart_mp3/sammys_freylekh.mp3: Invalid argument cp: a_tickle_in_the_heart_mp3/the_klezmers_freylekh.mp3: Invalid argument And then, in /home/pau I have this: $ file * 515ov4NbvCL.jpg: JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.01 bei_mir_bistu_sheyn.mp3: empty blessing_nigun.mp3: empty caravan.mp3: Audio file with ID3 version 2.3, MP3 encoding chassidic_dance.mp3: empty chossn_kalah_mazel_tov.mp3: empty dance_of_the_souls.mp3: empty ershter_waltz.mp3: Audio file with ID3 version 2.3, MP3 encoding i_got_rythm.mp3: Audio file with ID3 version 2.3, MP3 encoding lebedik_un_freylekh.mp3: Audio file with ID3 version 2.3, MP3 encoding miserlou.mp3: Audio file with ID3 version 2.3, MP3 encoding original_charleston.mp3: Audio file with ID3 version 2.3, MP3 encoding rosinkess_mit_mandlen.mp3: empty sammys_freylekh.mp3: empty summertime.mp3: Audio file with ID3 version 2.3, MP3 encoding sweet_georgia_yiddelekh.mp3: empty the_klezmers_freylekh.mp3: empty wedding_waltz__bulgar.mp3: Audio file with ID3 version 2.3, MP3 encoding Meaning that some got copied, others not. The encoding is the same, the sizes about the same. I have this problem using obsd 5.9 (not sure about previous versions) and USB2 and USB3 Cheers, 2016-04-17 11:49 GMT+02:00 Pau Amaro-Seoane <pau.amaro.seo...@gmail.com>: > Hello: > > I am moving files from an EXT2 formatted drive to my openbsd and I get > this error when copying from the ext2 drive to my laptop: > > read error: Invalid argument > > I mounted it with mount -t ext2fs /dev/sdbi /mnt > > The files are videos and some of them can be copied, and others not.
