Moving lots of very large 10G and 12G files back and forth
from ubuntu (current) system to 3 SilverRiver (thermaltake)
USB2 enclosures with new 300G WD caviar drives ....
formatted ext3 ... ends up with corrupted filesystems.
Everything may work well for 100G or 150G before it breaks.
Or it may break after 25G worth of file(s).
If I take the same drive and put it inside the case connected
up directly it works fine.
There are a number of kernel bugs reported, patches floating
around, etc.
The one easy fix is to avoid using the high speed connection,
but dropping back to a slower speed and moving 150G
worth of files is a no-op. (though better than getting beaten
to a pulp by a corrupted file system)
Does anyone know ... what kernel(s) have the best chance
of fixing this? I can arrange to compile 2.6.12-rc5 on this
box if it has a chance of fixing the problem. Ditto 2.6.11.11.
These are current stable and current rc as of date of this
email.
I'm monitoring 2 kernel bugs that flag this, or related,
problem(s) and they're not showing closure.
Advice greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Heitzso
