2012-02-23 23:29:18 Luca Borrione description 1. insert a usb pendrive (I used one formatted with reiserfs) and fill it up. 2. create somewhere else, for example in your desktop, a temp folder with a a medium file in it (I used an avi file of ~ 500Mb) (the drive in which my home is stored is formatted in ext3) 3. using pcmanfm cut the temp folder & paste it to the filled usb-drive (which means right-click on the temp folder and choose cut and then right-click somewhere inside the usb-drive and choose paste) 4. the cut&paste process will start but soon will stop with a window popping up saying something as "The file operation is finished, but there are some errors Error creating directory: No space left on device" (I'm using a localized version so I translated this message and might be different in your system) 5. only an empty folder is created on the target usb-drive while the original temp folder will be already removed with all its content resulting in a data loss. 1. insert a usb pendrive (I used one formatted with reiserfs) and fill it up. 2. create somewhere else, for example in your desktop, a temp folder with a a medium file in it (I used an avi file of ~ 500Mb) (the drive in which my home is stored is formatted in ext3) 3. using pcmanfm cut the temp folder & paste it to the filled usb-drive (which means right-click on the temp folder and choose cut and then right-click somewhere inside the usb-drive and choose paste) 4. the cut&paste process will start but soon will stop with a window popping up saying something as "The file operation is finished, but there are some errors Error creating directory: No space left on device" (I'm using a localized version so I translated this message and might be different in your system) 5. only an empty folder is created on the target usb-drive while the original temp folder will be already removed with all its content resulting in a data loss.
