The microSD card file system probably doesn't support long filenames or
non-alphanumeric filenames. Executing
mount
will show you the file system type, probably "vfat", and the options it
was mounted with. Read
man mount
to understand the options.
Depending on what other systems will see the microSD card (and what they
support), you MAY consider formatting the microSD with a different
filesystem.

Subject: [OCLUG-Tech] can't copy some files
Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2016 20:27:15 -0400
My trying to put my music collection on microSD card. I've tried this
numbers times and I keep getting the same errors with just certain files.
When I go to copy I get no such file or directory. Now if I try to copy them
to say the tmp directory, they copy just fine. I ran e2fsck and the results
where I had a good hard drive and microSD card.
Sample of what I'm trying to copy:
cp /tmp/Herbert\ Von\ Karajan\ -\ 01\ -\ BEETHOVEN\ \:\ Symphony\ No.6\ in\
F\ major\,\ Op.68\ \"Pastoral\"\ -\ 1.\ Allegro\ ma\ non\ troppo.flac
/mnt/usbstick/Music
I thought maybe the title was too long so I also renamed some of the
offending file, but got the some result. I tried copying them to a different
hard drive and that worked fine.
Googling produced no help, so here I am. Any ideas?
