This is on 10.5.2 Yes, I made an HFS+ partition, and things seem to work well. Faster, too. I would still like to have the drive formated in FAT32, since I carry it in a device (book reader) that only reads FAT partitions.... I guess you can't win them all. 2009/5/12 henri <[email protected]>: > Finally, consider whether the ACL data is important.

I think ACL isn't important, but in general extended attributes are. I think that things worked well without the -X flag, but errors occur with -X. thanks > > Also, I agree with the post from Veronica. > > Hope this helps. > > > > > On 11/05/2009, at 1:54 AM, Michael Lachmann wrote: > >> I am trying to transfer files between two OSX machines using a FAT32 >> formatted flash drive.
