Is this a known MC or ntfs-3g limitation? First I tried copying from an NTFS USB stick files that originally came from a .tgz file created from an NTFS filesystem. I tried using MC in the Knoppix 8.6 GUI from that stick to an installed SSD's Windows system partition. MC hung around 70% complete, leaving no clue in dmesg. Next try was from the original Windows 7 system partition on the old HD to the freshly installed Windows 7 system partition on a brand new SSD, which froze MC 4.8.23 on openSUSE Tumbleweed at 88% complete, files processed 9533/10387, and again no apparent clue in dmesg. I tried a third time, also using TW, but not selecting any symlinks to copy, and the hang happened at 9531/10370 @Target /mnt/Users/username/AppData/LocalLow/Microsoft/CryptnetUrlCache/Content/ prwxrwxrwx 2 root root 0 Oct 8 19:26 B398B80134F72209547439DB21AB308D_CCF564BE5A3C924B17DDEBDEB5236E1 Is the p in prwxrwxrwx some kind of indicator that failure can be expected absent some kind of decryption environment? There is inexplicably no such file on the source, so I'm at a loss what's happening, and not. The journal may have clues, but I don't recognize any as such: # journalctl -b | egrep -i 'ntfs|sdb|sdc|fuse' Oct 08 19:15:42 gx780 kernel: sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] 500118192 512-byte logical blocks: (256 GB/238 GiB) Oct 08 19:15:42 gx780 kernel: sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off Oct 08 19:15:42 gx780 kernel: sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 Oct 08 19:15:42 gx780 kernel: sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA Oct 08 19:15:42 gx780 kernel: sdb: sdb1 sdb2 Oct 08 19:15:42 gx780 kernel: sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk Oct 08 19:15:56 gx780 kernel: fuse init (API version 7.29) Oct 08 19:15:55 gx780 ntfs-3g[491]: Version 2017.3.23 external FUSE 29 Oct 08 19:15:55 gx780 ntfs-3g[491]: Mounted /dev/sda15 (Read-Write, label "WinDATA", NTFS 3.1) Oct 08 19:15:55 gx780 ntfs-3g[491]: Cmdline options: rw,noatime,noexec,nosuid,nodev,gid=1000,fmask=0111,dmask=0000,locale=en_US.UTF-8,users Oct 08 19:15:55 gx780 ntfs-3g[491]: Mount options: rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,users,allow_other,nonempty,noatime,default_permissions,fsname=/dev/sda15,blkdev,blksize=4096 Oct 08 19:15:55 gx780 ntfs-3g[491]: Global ownership and permissions enforced, configuration type 7 Oct 08 19:15:55 gx780 ntfs-3g[491]: Warning : using problematic uid==0 and gid!=0 Oct 08 19:15:56 gx780 ntfs-3g[494]: Version 2017.3.23 external FUSE 29 Oct 08 19:15:56 gx780 ntfs-3g[494]: Mounted /dev/sda6 (Read-Write, label "WinSYS", NTFS 3.1) Oct 08 19:15:56 gx780 ntfs-3g[494]: Cmdline options: rw,noatime,noexec,nosuid,nodev,gid=1000,fmask=0111,dmask=0000,locale=en_US.UTF-8,users Oct 08 19:15:56 gx780 ntfs-3g[494]: Mount options: rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,users,allow_other,nonempty,noatime,default_permissions,fsname=/dev/sda6,blkdev,blksize=4096 Oct 08 19:15:56 gx780 ntfs-3g[494]: Global ownership and permissions enforced, configuration type 7 Oct 08 19:15:56 gx780 ntfs-3g[494]: Warning : using problematic uid==0 and gid!=0 Oct 08 19:15:57 gx780 systemd[1]: Mounting FUSE Control File System...
