Weird Mount Problem...

[Amichai Rotman]

Hello Ya 'All!

I am having a weird problem:

I have a two year old  80 Gb HDD that's giving me some trouble and seems to
be dying...

I bought another drive exactly the same size, installed it in the computer,
used gParted to partition it as a Primary Partition (full size)  and format
it as ext3 File System.

I ran the manufacturer's diagnostic tool  and  it got a clean bill of
health.

Now I want to transfer  the data I have on the suspiciously bad HDD to it.
When I try to transfer a 23Gb directory, it moves about 80% and then says
there's not enough room on target. When I check the target drive (the new
one) it shows as full...

What did I do wrong?

I tried using both Nautilus and Midnight Commander (mc) in CLI.

Is there a better way to make sure all is set up correctly and transfered as
it should?

All seems fine when I run df -h

Thanks!
