The microSD card file system probably doesn't support long filenames or non-alphanumeric filenames. Executing mount
will show you the file system type, probably "vfat", and the options it was mounted with. Read man mount to understand the options. Depending on what other systems will see the microSD card (and what they support), you MAY consider formatting the microSD with a different filesystem. -----Original Message----- From: Bruce <li...@faintfuzzies.ca> To: linux@lists.oclug.on.ca Subject: [OCLUG-Tech] can't copy some files Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2016 20:27:15 -0400 My trying to put my music collection on microSD card. I've tried this numbers times and I keep getting the same errors with just certain files. When I go to copy I get no such file or directory. Now if I try to copy them to say the tmp directory, they copy just fine. I ran e2fsck and the results where I had a good hard drive and microSD card. Sample of what I'm trying to copy: cp /tmp/Herbert\ Von\ Karajan\ -\ 01\ -\ BEETHOVEN\ \:\ Symphony\ No.6\ in\ F\ major\,\ Op.68\ \"Pastoral\"\ -\ 1.\ Allegro\ ma\ non\ troppo.flac /mnt/usbstick/Music I thought maybe the title was too long so I also renamed some of the offending file, but got the some result. I tried copying them to a different hard drive and that worked fine. Googling produced no help, so here I am. Any ideas? ===== Bruce _______________________________________________ Linux mailing list Linux@lists.oclug.on.ca http://oclug.on.ca/mailman/listinfo/linux _______________________________________________ Linux mailing list Linux@lists.oclug.on.ca http://oclug.on.ca/mailman/listinfo/linux
