copy_fails_for_some_fails_without_explanation.mdwn

I have a large direct-mode repository whose files I'm trying to copy to a non-direct-mode repository.  Both repositories live on an HDD attached to an rpi.

When I do $ git annex copy --to pi dirs/to/copy, the copy starts out OK, but eventually many files fail to copy.  The only diagnostic I get is "failed".  Judging from the backscroll, I don't see a strong pattern to the files which fail to copy; they're kind of interspersed amongst files which were successfully copied.  If I try to copy one of these failed files explicitly (git annex copy --to pi file/which/failed), this succeeds.  I have plenty of free space on the disk.

Is there a way to get more diagnostics out of git annex so I can see why these files are failing to copy?
