I think you solved it Fredrik.
The first ten folders looked like this:
D:\0\1\2\3\4\5\6\7\8\9
22 Chars long.
The rest looked like this:
\10\11\12\13\82\83\84
~ 222 CHars long.
Subdir 84 had one file in it named XXX.bat
That file broke the 255 limit, then subdir 85 wasn't created
You are correct Peter, the exception read something like this:
"Folder 85 not found."
I am paraphrasing, but that is the crux of the error. It takes about an
hour to produce the error so if you want an exact quote from the
exception, let me know and give me awhile. I looked through the nested
dir

The problem with this is that it only copies about 35 GB/hour. I would
like to copy at least 100 GB/hour... more if possible. I have tried to
copy from the IDE CD drive to the SATA array with the same r
I think this is a silly task, but I have to do it. I have to fill a
file server (1 TB SATA RAID Array) with files. I wrote a Python script
to do this, but it's a bit slow... here it is:
import shutil
import os
import sys
import time
src = "G:"
des = "C:scratch"
os.chdir(src)
try:
for x in xrange
