Receiving "Bad file descriptor" error when copying a file between drives
« on: December 27, 2010, 11:36:02 AM »
My environment is:
    DNS-323 with FW 1.09 and two WD20EADS drives, type=Standard. 
    Both drives have at least 1.7 TB free.
    Mac Mini running OS X running 10.6.5
    Nightly I use the tar command to copy all files in my $HOME and write the file to Volume_1.
    The tar file is then copied from Volume_1 to Volume_2.

My problem is that occasionally, maybe once or twice a month, the copy command will abort with a "Bad file descriptor" error.  I have listed the contents of two of the failed copies and the point of failure is at a different point in the copy.

Is this an indication that I may be having a problem with the drive I am using for Volume_2?  Because I have a space, I have not deleted files since 2010-11-01 so I doubt the system is trying to write to the same bad sector.  Is there something else I should try?

Thank you.
