part 2 -
so the fix for this error code -41 is to copy the large folders with cp -R sourcefile destinationfile
which I found from this response -
"FYI, I just used the terminal to copy and that worked fine:
sudo cp -R [folder path to be copied] [destination]"
SO, I tried this, and I could now copy this large folder without the error -41.
And I further read -
"
For the troubleshooters:
I got it down to the bare minumum on a clean OS X Server install, not AD bound or anything extraneous. Just AFP running on a server with an IP with forward reverse lookup. I made a share, added admin (501) to the ACL (as Read only), touched a file and duplicated it in Finder, locally on the server.
10.6-10.6.2 functioned fine. 10.6.3 and 10.6.4 added bizarre behavior where a WRITE ACE was added to the ACL, but the ACEs weren't "stacking up", 10.6.5 and 10.6.6 added the redundant ACEs that when you tried copying/duplicating packages and apps with Finder would result in insane amounts of duplication, try Chess.app you'll get 18 ACEs deep in one Finder copy! 3rd copy fails with Error -41
So get reporting folks, 10.6.7 might be the last Snow Leopard update, and even if it isn't I'm getting pretty tired of dealing with this bug and don't want to wait until 10.6.8! So I just filed my bug
#9160099 (another poster referenced his bug
#8816661, that 343,438 bug reports later!)"
SO - my client sees that this cp command works, but he is UNHAPPY, because the editors cant be typing in terminal UNIX commands every time they want to duplicate a large directory.
SO - is there a way to fix this, so that I can make large copies in the finder, or have I screwed myself by opening
up permissions as I have done ?
Hope this is clear.
