Above is from rsync log. Before interrupting the rsync and restarting it I logged output from hdparm and smartctl: http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Hardware/Disk/hdpd-201207-fi965azbme-wd20eurs-os131.... Similar logs from the first WD Green AV disk, first WD I ever bought: http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Hardware/Disk/smart-wdAVGP3200AVVS.txt The smaller 320GB device I consider functional but unreliable, removed from SD DVR service shortly after the warranty expired and the DVR began producing inexplicable errors. The larger (disk of of current interest) has been in a satellite receiver that runs on a variation of Mips Linux Dreambox FOSSware using a 3.92 kernel, resulting in original creation of the files that error'd. I was able to delete the 4 uncopyable files, then restore them from backup. Smartctl -x reports from my few other WD disks all seem to have identical Reallocated_Sector_Ct, 200 200 140 Reallocated_Event_Count, 200 200 0 Current_Pending_Sector, 200 200 0 Offline_Uncorrectable 100 253 0 except for 200 173 0 on the bad 320 for current pending. Can anyone suggest what most likely caused the 4 files to be repeatedly uncopyable? Driver error or other error in the Dreambox software maybe? Before the 320 AV and the 2TB AV I had never ever purchased a WD disk, due to miserable experiences with used WD HDs that had come into my possession over the years. I was Quantum user for as long as it lasted, eventually switching to Seagate after nearly as bad experiences with Toshiba and Maxtor. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
