Annoying Finder crash
I am copying a music library from a NAS to my 24" iMac and after nearly an hour it crashed and tells me "The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in "" can't be read or written."
So what is the problem one asks? Is it something on the NAS or something on the iMac, and what was the copy copying when it crashed? I have the dump report but I cannot see where that tells me what file it was having a problem with. It says
"Exception Type: EXC BADACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERN INVALIDADDRESS at 0x0000000000000048
Crashed Thread: 9"
And tons more information. But nothing that actually TELLS me anything useful. It would have been VERY useful to tell me that last successfully copied file and path, but maybe it simply could not.
What is even more irritating is that another copy of similar size was going on at the same time, this one appeared to be still running but the error box had an OK button which I clicked and - boom - it terminated everything.
Sigh.
Do copies proceed sequentially? So if I search through both directories, the source and target, to find the place where a file exists on the NAS and not on the iMac, will that be a reliable indication of where the copy failed? Is there any way of comparing two file systems? Is there any way of copying and keeping an audit trail?
Any suggestions?
Thanks - Lawrence
