    not enough space ?!

    Hello!
    I want to transfer a file between 2 hard-disks.
    When I look at the 2nd hd's properties, Knoppix 3.1 tells me, 70GB from 80 GB are free yet. But when I start to transfer I am told, theres not sufficient space on the hd.
    what can i do?

    thx in advance

    its type is ext2.
    and IIRC knoppix 3.1 is incapable in writing on ntfs/fat32 partitions.
    i also made a test with another file.
    That file did not make any circumstances while copying.

    either the file, i want to copy is korrupt, or knoppix is damaged....

    any help?

    1)By any change did you try copy with root rights ? (or sudo)
    => if still same problem ,no rights problem
    2)Or copy as means of test to another disk or partition ?
    => if still problem ,problem with source file => launch scan utility to test data integrity of harddisk.(try ultimate bootcd :
    http://www.ultimatebootcd.com .

    Hope this'll help,

    greetzzzzz,
