Then you should do mkdosfs. ;-) Still, the kernel shouldn't hang forever. It should return with an error if its unable to read a file/directory. > I get this error after Thunar has copied xx% of the file and can't write > the rest of it. Ah, you mean, Thunar should first check whether enough space is available? Well, even if you ignore the numerous race conditions that would arise here, you'd still be unable to reliably detect whether or not enough space is available (i.e. different block sizes, available inodes, user/group quotas, etc.). Thunar would probably reject to copy files based on its estimation, while it would in reality be possible to copy the files. Even if it would be possible to take care of all conditions on all supported platforms, it'd require atleast a year or two to come up with a working implementation. Really not something I'd want to waste my time with.
