That's a *lot* paranoid, unless you're using a 2.0 kernel or something. The USB transfer glitches are detected and fixed in the SCSI emulation of the USB-managing kernel code; despite the inevitable urk! from USB in a multi-gigabyte file transfer, you'll get the whole thing with a regular copy command. -- Graydon -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
