Am importing files (reorganising) from one external hard drive to another. I import folders that contain 1 shoot and very occasionally I get an error message when Importing certain folders (using IMPORT>MOVE):
Could not move to the destination folder because it is not writable or there is not enough free space
Both are SSD's (Samsung T5) FAT32 format
using iMAC 27 Inch late 2105n with latest Big Sur
Workaround:
1. Copy files and then delete from original SSD
2. Copy as DNG (I'm reluctant to do that after reading pros and cons)
Using the copy option works fine but it's bugging me why this is happening ... 99% of all photos work with MOVE yet some folders give the error above - this is not a space issue as both SSD have more than 300gb free, it doesn't appear to be a permissions issues as both SSDs and folders, sub folders, and files have read & write permissions???
Has anyone come across this.
FYI once the migration is complete I will reformat the main SSD where I will store photos to the MAC file format and stop using FAT32 as some have pointed out that this is more stable.
Thanks in advance for any help shared
