Second try to NAS -- another failure

Do feel SD works better with a FireWire drive that is bootable than with sparse-images to a NAS? If so, I'll buy a drive.

But, here's my worry. The SD manual claims my first run's Warnings and Error are from "low level disk errors." If the SD manual is correct, SD will still not work.

Strangely, you'll note there was no string of Warnings this time -- yet the very same Pictures directory was copied. Did the "bad files" on my Mac's disk suddenly fix themselves? Or, were they never bad in the first place?

Despite the fact you seem sure SD doesn't have a bug, I'm worried that when I need to Restore I'll encounter another set of errors and warnings. Is there any way to "test" a restore to verify both the write and read work?

PS: Both the first and second run wrote 6GB to the NAS before failing. This is far more than the 4GB limit of FAT32. Could something be limiting the sparse-image to 6GB? Or, do you think the NAS has a bug not related to FAT32?
