PFS3 not enough memory available

[jarkman]

hello,

I have created partition 8GB of PFS3_aio, when you try to copy a directory size 1.2 GB containing hundreds of files, at about 900MB receives the message "Error while copying GamesAGA not enough memory available"
I have set maxtransfer on 0x0001FE00 buffer 250, scsi.device version 43.45.
What could be wrong?

Maybe you're out of memory?
How much does the machine have and how are you copying files? If you use WB to copy, I think it copies an entire file into memory before writing it, so it will require room for the biggest file you're copying.
Using copy on the command-line is more efficient in my experience (or DOpus etc.).

I check PFSDoctor this volume and I recevie Doctor Errot: out memory
That is fault partition not RAM

How much memory do you have in your system? Is this one big partition the only one on the drive? I assume then you are booting from another device? Do you update the scsi.device at all?

I have 10MB RAM, and 2 partition 300MB (FFS) for WB 3.1 with BetterWB and 8GB (PDS3). My scsi.device 43.45

Maybe Ram is the issue then, usage must be quite high will all those buffers, I bet you're running out.

Thomas who posts at EAB would probably know the definitive reason why, or Toni Willen might spot this post and give some insight.

In the mean time I highly recommend using some file managing software like Directory Opus to copy the files.

(BetterWB has something installed you can use for this purpose)

Yep I had the same even using DOpus, for some stupid reason the Amiga seems to keep copied files in the RAM long after they have been copied. The only way I found round it was to copy smaller chunks, eg a few hundred MB at a time.
