That was about what I got aswell. In theory it should only take a few seconds for a 2Mb file. > > Second try, with obs=8192 => Nothing happens, impossible to kill, reboot > mandatory!!! I've had this happen to me when my parallel zip drive 'crashed' on a bad disk. The process never exited out of kernel mode and hence never got the signal - or so I assume. Why its happening here is anyone's guess. Sounds like a bug with the drive - possibly a bug in the kernel. I'm running 2.4.25. I don't think 2.6 works fully re USB just yet, reading posts on this list but its very possible that I'm wrong. Which kernel are you running? Just try a smaller number like 1024 or 2048. I can't really advise anything else. Someone else might have a more useful suggestion. Brian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
