KDL upon unplugging a USB stick

[TheNerd]

I am running Haiku rev 30140 on an Acer TravelMate 800 laptop. When I plug in my Patriot Memory Razzo 16GB memory stick it recognizes it and displays an icon on the desktop but as soon as I unplug it Haiku crashes and goes into KDL.

Below is what I get from the initial KDL Screen:

PANIC: could not write back block 1 (device not ready)

I am not sure how to get set up to use the serial port or whatever to get more info but I can give it a try if someone wants to tell me how.

I did a search and I think it may be a similar issue to ticket 2364.

But you do unmount the volume before unplugging, do you? Otherwise this is invalid because it's expected that you can't write to an unplugged device.

[TheNerd]

To produce this crash I did not unmount it. As far as I'm concerned the OS shouldn't crash from improperly unplugging a device. Correct me if I'm wrong, but other OSs don't crash when you unplug without unmounting a device.

Maybe it shouldn't be a bug but at least a feature request...

It doesn't actually crash. It panics to indicate a dataloss that's all. Panics like this will be changed to other means of reporting like syslog.

[TheNerd]

yes that is correct. Urias gracefully pointed out the continue command to me. I still think Haiku (at some point) should maybe handle that a bit better.

Thanks

Yes this is exactly what I mean. For releases, panics like this will just be disabled or changed to other means of reporting, most likely the syslog.

[TheNerd]

understood :) thanks!
