cp(1) from ntfs fails

[Jukka Salmi <j+nbsd%2008.salmi.ch@localhost>]

Hello,

trying to copy files from a ntfs (win xp) file system using cp(1) on
a 4.99.60 i386 system currently fails (IIRC this used to work):

$ mount
[...]
/dev/wd0n on /mnt/win type ntfs (read-only, local)

$ ls -l /mnt/win/BOOT.INI
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  194 Sep 18  2006 /mnt/win/BOOT.INI

$ cp /mnt/win/BOOT.INI .
cp: ./BOOT.INI: Invalid argument


Tracing cp(1) shows:

[...]
   615      1 cp       CALL  open(0xbb907c00,0,0)
   615      1 cp       NAMI  "/mnt/win/BOOT.INI"
   615      1 cp       RET   open 3
   615      1 cp       CALL  open(0x804b208,0x601,0x81ed)
   615      1 cp       NAMI  "./BOOT.INI"
   615      1 cp       RET   open 4
   615      1 cp       CALL  mmap(0,0xc2,1,1,3,0,0,0)
   615      1 cp       RET   mmap -1146105856/0xbbafd000
   615      1 cp       CALL  madvise(0xbbafd000,0xc2,2)
   615      1 cp       RET   madvise 0
   615      1 cp       CALL  write(4,0xbbafd000,0xc2)
   615      1 cp       RET   write -1 errno 22 Invalid argument
[...]

Hmm, why could the write be failing?


Regards, Jukka
