ntfs usb data copy (via alt-f interface) failure for large folders (cp invalid option)

[Filip Goc]

Hi, 

All works fine for me when I'm testing the functionality with a bunch of files and folders around couple hundred MB, but I get "cp invalid option" error when I try to copy larger batches. 

full error: 

Copy 2.0GB from “ImntIFG_passlMusicl-_Swing_-” to “ImntlmdOlPublic/RWIMusic”

cp: invalid option -- BusyBox vl.20.2 (2013-03-17 19:50:30 WET) multi-call binary. Usage: cp [OPTIONS] SOURCE... DEST Copy SOURCE(s) to

DEST -a Same as -dpR -R,-r Recurse -d,-P Preserve symlinks (default if -R) -L Follow all symlinks -H Follow symlinks on command line -p Preserve file

attributes if possible -f Overwrite -i Prompt before overwrite -1,-s Create (sym)links 

Can anyone please explain the error message to me? 

Thanks!

hmm, it looks like more a file name (character codes) issue than a 'cp' command (or ntfs-3g) issue.

Can you try using a simple "foobar" name (and folders names) on a greater than 2GB file?

It's not one file byt a folder with subfolders and files. It is unfortunately completely undesirable to rename them as they are songs...

I'll try to play around with various names and see what breaks it. And report back. Thanks!

PS exceptional work on alt f! Love it.

OK, it was a naming convention issue. The folders were named to graphically stand out. It has not caused an issue before but now it has. 

_folder name   | OK

_folder name_ | OK

-_folder name  | fail

Thanks!
