With 'cp -a <src> <dst>' from SDK does what you want to do, or am I wrong?

P.S. With long filenames and weird characters in files, the AmigaOS Copy Command has problems, too, as far as I remember. I usually prefere using 'cp' for this reason.

@Rigo Although, I'm with you in some sense, I can understand Neil_P, too. Especially, as this part of the Forum is called "AmigaOS 4. x Support ‹ Platform: Classic" and thus, concerns about AmigaOS4.0 classic are valid. The question maybe is: Will there be support/bug fixes to AmigaOS4.0 o...

A fully functional shared C++ Boost Library, would be very appreciated!
Of course, a fix for this exception problem, too.

yes, you're right. I desperately tried to convince myself that you were not but I failed (which is good :-) ). For some reasons, in my previous tests I thought a cold reboot would be necessary but also without "Mounter" a warm reboot is sufficient. Thanks daz for pointing me to my stupidne...

From what you've described it sounds to me like the sata.device (whatever it is called) is running a bus scan at start up and keeping a list internally for the devices it finds. When you plug the eSATA device in it is not recognised as the ID it is using didn't respond initially. A reboot cures thi...

as soon as the external HD is recognized by "mounter", the mounting of paritions itself is not an issue. I have mountlists for this purpose (created by GiggleDisk -- very useful tool). The procedure is the following. 1. plug eSATA device (in my case: a 2TB HD) into SAM440ep while AmigaOS4....

It works almost.
It still requires a (warm) reboot (CTRL-lA-rA) with my external HD.
However, it's an improvement!

Thanks,

If that works then it's easy enough for me! Thank you very much!
I fiddled around with "Media Toolbox" but couldn't find a way
and even asked at aw.net, i think -- without finding a solution.

Thanks again, I'll check it asap.

As this has come just to my mind.. Is there some official tool (maybe "Media Toolbox") on AOS4 to rescan the SATA-Bus? If so, how can it be done? If not, is it planed to be done? The reason for my question is, that AOS4 does not recognize eSATAp devices like external HDs or sticks when plu...

Ok, then. Thanks for this official AOS4 support forum and I take the opportunity to rephrase my c++ problem with the SDK/Compiler/Linker, which I mentioned earlier only at the temporarily amigans.net site. I really hope some solution or fix can be found by the AOS4 dev team. Thanks in advance for an...
