Please describe the problem.

I'm syncing the content of an annex to another annex on a fat32 partition connected with usb (on an ipod video, with rockbox). I created this annex with "git init && git annex init", so it is using unlocked adusted branch.

Here is the .git/config:

[core]
        repositoryformatversion = 0
        filemode = false
        bare = false
        logallrefupdates = true
        symlinks = false
        ignorecase = true
[annex]
        uuid = 25e5f762-db7f-49ad-a504-93e02bba642f
        sshcaching = false
        crippledfilesystem = true
        version = 7
[filter "annex"]
        smudge = git-annex smudge %f
        clean = git-annex smudge --clean %f

The sync seems to go well, all files are being copied, but I see an error for each copy during the checksum:

...

ok
...

Note that there is plenty space left on device (300 out of 500Go), and this happened since the beginning of the sync, when the disk was almost empty.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)

Sure, I love it, and unlocked branch is really a great addition for crippled filesystems!
