Yes, the DOS partition I access with E: under DOS is mounted on /dos/e. I didn't setup a logical drive 'e:' for mtools under Linux (I'll try later if that works). 'a:' is associated with /dev/fd0 in mtools.conf (as it is per default after installing mtools). > I got around it by just mounting my drives and manually copying them.... mmove > should ignore perms and multiple file systems, > the mv command freaks out when i move from partition to partition because mved > file retain old perms... so it makes sense that it'll 'fail' on a destination > fat drive. You can work around that, if you mount the FAT drive with option 'quiet'. However, this isn't the reason for the error message.
