I'd posted this in another topic, but decided to create a new thread as it was somewhat different to the problem the other poster was having:

I'm currently in the process of consolidating similar data on one drive that is for now scattered over several. These are basically a few folders, each containing a few dozens of files, each in turn about 500 MB to 1 GB in size. If I try to copy a whole folder from one drive to another, the server will stop responding after about 1.5 to 2 gigs copied. I hit the reboot button on my nasbox and it checks all the drives before becoming available again. But if I go inside the folder and select all the files and drag them all in one go to the destination drive, connection holds or at least seems to for the time being (process still going after about 7 gigs copied).
This was copying over the lan, connected to the NAS in NFS. I have since discovered you could copy between drives when all drives mounted as 1 share via SMB.
This is much faster, but I'm hitting a limit of about 3.5 GB where the server stops responding, is still copying but extremely slowly. I am not too worried about this as I've not applied the usual frst aid tricks yet (like disabling all unused functions in the BIOS, which I can't do at the moment due to having let my brother borrow my monitor!)
The second problem, somewhat related to the one I had before when copying over the lan, is that I simply cannot copy a whole folder from drive to drive. I get the following error:
And that doesn't seem to have anything to do with size, as the folder I got the above error for was about 1GB.
AM I right in assuming it is MacOS (I use the latest Leopard) doing this instead of NASLite (I use 2.06)?
