#9162 closed bug (fixed)

Writing large file to USB causes KDL

Reported by: dsuden Owned by: bonefish
Priority: normal Milestone: R1/beta2
Component: System/Kernel Version: R1/alpha4
Keywords: Cc:
Blocked By: Blocking:
Platform: All

Description

I have A4 installed and in all other respects it has been VERY solid...but when writing a large (4 gigabyte) file to a 16 gigabyte-capacity USB stick, it manages to KDL the system every time, at some point during the copying process. I have tried it about six times, on two different computers. Both computers are AM3 Athlon based, if that enters into it at all. I have attached a screen grab showing the KDL message.

I should mention the USB stick is formatted Fat32, so that I can bring the file over to another computer.

could you try again on R1A4.1?

There was an issue which could affect any low-level drivers. (not likely, but it's an easy thing to omit from troubleshooting :)

Replying to kallisti5:

There was an issue which could affect any low-level drivers.

No, it does not affect any drivers. The scope of that bug was limited to modules and possible a special case in the block cache, so updating won't help.

This bug looks pretty much the same as #4473. It's interesting that you have a reproducible test case. I could imagine a USB timeout being at work, that then propagates an error up, indirectly causing the close resulting in a double close.

mmlr I will try. Previously the KDL screen wouldn't let me type anything...but I'll give it a shot and report back.

Meanwhile, in case it's useful, I tried downloading and installing 4.1 and again attempting to copy to the USB stick. This time it didn't KDL. Instead the window sort of froze and went white on me. I've attached a photo of what I saw. The entire OS wasn't completely frozen...I could still move the mouse, and even click the Start button in the deskbar and it responded, though I couldn't open folders or anything. When selecting the option to restart, Haiku reported it would tidy up, and that's as far as it got.

Does this still happen? Also, does it happen only on FAT32 volumes or does it also happen if the USB disk target is formatted as BFS?

Dane: Could you retest this and all your other long-opened tickets and see which ones are fixed?

Resolution: fixed
Status: assignedclosed

Upon closer inspection this indeed seems to be the same as #4473, which was partially fixed by axeld (but in a way that caused more KDLs), and then again later by me, in a more permanent fashion. So this can be finally closed.
