and by the way, the filesystem is really full I don't know how windows put that file in there, but then I removed it because it was broken and in OpenBSD cannot even save an empty vi file. Never mind, I'll keep that small file in another place, don't really want to re-format for a few M difference.

Also, I found out that Windows can mount only the first partition of my usb drive. I've seen on google, it seems to be normal behaviour for windows
I had installed fedora on a spare partition in the box some time ago, I tried the usb drive there, and it mounts everything just fine

Now, this is a bit off-topic. I'm using filezilla to transfer my files from windows to the new drive (I would have done it attaching the drive to windows, but as I said, it only mounts the first partition). Filezilla is very convenient, but is there a command-line tool to transfer a whole directory? I'v tried ncftp but would not work, maybe the directory is too big? I've seen this script here:
