Bug#315242: nautilus crashes when copying a large file to vfat partition fails

[Jon Dowland]

Package: nautilus
Version: 2.8.2-2
Severity: normal

I've just tried to copy the sarge DVD #1 iso onto a portable mp3 player,
which uses the vfat filesystem. With nautilus, the process went smoothly
for about 5 minutes and then nautilus crashed. Only 4.0GB was copied.

I then tried 'time cp -rp'; after the same amount of time copy bailed
with 'file too large' errors (presumably a vfat limitation). The
resulting copy was again, 4.0GB.

I will double-check the exact byte figures and error message if
necessary. I think nautilus should follow the 'fail noisily' principle
when encountering this error.
