Hi all :-)

i have 1Gb free on my debian,
when i cp from ftp server to usb hd the space on my system decrease.. a lot..and often is zero..
it's correct?! i copy to usb hd not system hd :-(

tnks :-)

I see no reason why your system hd is being filled when copying data
from an external server to your USB hd. Recheck that you're really
copying to your external USB hd.

I had this happen when the external device was not mounted (DVD-RAM inmy case). As I understood it, if you copy to the mount point and thedevice is not mounted the data will be copied to the local hdd.
