The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

How to copy LARGE files using linux cp command ?

Asked by RetroRocker in Linux Administration, Linux Setup

Tags: ,

I am very new to Linux ! I have been playing around with creating a bootable installation of PCLinuxOS 2007 on a usb stick. I have been using a LiveCD in a Windows host machine and have been trying to write the large livecd.sqfs file to a FAT16 formatted partition on a usb stick using 'cp'. This all starts and runs just fine for a minute or two, then always halts with the following error ...

cp: reading [file] input/output error

... or very similar. What causes this to happen ? and how can I resolve it ? I've looked at 'scp' but it really should not be necessary to encrypt a file just to copy it.

thanks RR
