While writing I'm getting a buncha permission denied messages and after the cp -r only one directory contains files while the other contains this: F:\probanden\2.06.0\suites\0554412>ls -l total 219 -rw-r--r-- 1 0 everyone 34816 Jul 19 20:03 0554412.cl -rw-r--r-- 1 0 everyone 154624 Jul 19 20:03 0554412.exa -rw-r--r-- 1 0 everyone 154624 Jul 19 20:03 0554412.exl crw-r--r-- 0 0 everyone 0, 0 Jan 1 1970 0554412.exp -rw-r--r-- 1 0 everyone 445 Jul 19 20:03 0554412.log -rw-r--r-- 1 0 everyone 0 Jul 19 20:03 0554412.ok -rw-r--r-- 1 0 everyone 0 Jul 19 20:03 0554412.ppl -rw-r--r-- 1 0 everyone 3231 Jul 19 20:03 dablog.log -rw-r--r-- 1 0 everyone 1665 Jul 19 20:03 diblegeo.exa -rw-r--r-- 1 0 everyone 16384 Jul 19 20:03 diblegeo.exo -rw-r--r-- 1 0 everyone 0 Jul 19 20:03 nutform5.exa -rw-r--r-- 1 0 everyone 57344 Jul 19 20:03 nutform5.exo -rw-r--r-- 1 0 everyone 3687 Jul 19 20:03 stobugeo.exa -rw-r--r-- 1 0 everyone 16384 Jul 19 20:03 stobugeo.exo (see the character device?) The fourth but last file (0 bytes) was one that got permission errors The file that got a character device has 0 bytes in the source directory but there are othe files with 0 bytes that got copied as normal files.
