Yes, I have connected the same external HDD to the USB port on the front of the TS-219P and then performed the actions as in the original post: rsync was able to transfer 19GB w/o any noticeable errors. At least the kernel didn't report any. Referring the above link, it seems the USB topology is identical to the TS-209II. I had owned this device; on that device the transfer worked with no problems (though I can't remember which port was used). Looking at the output of lsusb -v, I see the discrete 4-way USB hub presumably controlling the two USB ports on the back side of the device. When I'm a little braver, I will again attempt the large transfer using rsync and a back side USB port. Should I report the output of lsusb -v here? -- John Holland ___________________________________________ Cellent Finance Solutions AG Firmensitz: Calwer Straße 33, 70173 Stuttgart Registergericht: Amtsgericht Stuttgart, HRB 720743 Vorstand: Thomas Wild Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrats: Rudolf Zipf
