Specifically, >I mount the drive with "mount_isofs /dev/mcd0a /cdrom". >Then I tried to copy ports/math/octave and xv. I tried both using >"cp -r" as well as "tar cvf - octave | (cd /usr/local/src; tar xvf -)" I had a similar problem with a SCSI CD (TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-3301TA0272) and the InfoMagic Source Code CD-ROM. I tried to "cp -r" the X11R5 sources and things started getting wierd. I got I/O errors, and certain files on my disk appeared to be blank. Therefore, it probably isn't the CD or the Disc. -Chris --
