[G4] Problem with Huge File Transfer in X.

[J J]

 >>I am trying to transfer a very large file 
(34GB) from one drive to
another. The system gets part way through 
(varies), and stops. No
panic, just stops.<<

I have had simular problems in OS9 when 
transfering many files that add up to a few gig. 
If it is a bunch of smaller files then transfer 
them a gig or so at a time.

It may help to set your sleep pref to never for 
the HDs-maybe they are sleeping when they ought 
not to.

The last suggestion I have is when you have 
accomplished this use get info to look at the 
number of bits in the original and new files. It 
should be the exact same number. If it is not then 
something is corrupted. I always check this and 
many times it has been out a few hundred 
bits-delete and copy again gives me exactly the 
same bit count. It shorts the bits about 1/3 the 
time I have done large transfers.
