If I execute cp /mnt/windows/c/WINDOWS/Fonts/*.ttf fonts it works every time. If I execute cp /mnt/windows/c/WINDOWS/fonts/*.ttf fonts it works sometimes and hangs sometimes. If I execute cp /mnt/windows/c/windows/fonts/*.ttf fonts it hangs every time. The point at which it hangs varies from run to run. Attached is the output from executing strace -f -e trace=file cp /mnt/windows/c/windows/fonts/*.ttf fonts on a Mandrake 9.0 system. The destination directory, 'fonts', is an empty directory on an ext3 partition (but I get the same results if the destination is on a FAT32 partition). > > BTW, it would be much better if you could do an Alt+SysRq+t (press > together) from the character console and could decode the output > (should go also to /var/log/dmesg or /var/log/messages) with > 'ksymoops'.
