Hello Alan, Thank you for taking your time to inform all involved people. I have made first a test on plain 2.6.7 kernel without any patch to make sure I can reproduce it again.
Simultaneously: # dd if=random.bin of=/dev/sda bs=1M seek=140000 240+0 records in 240+0 records out 251658240 bytes transferred in 142.382673 seconds (1767478 bytes/sec) # mke2fs /dev/sda2 mke2fs 1.35 (28-Feb-2004) Filesystem label= OS type: Linux Block size=4096 (log=2) Fragment size=4096 (log=2) 7946240 inodes, 15870211 blocks 793510 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user First data block=0 485 block groups 32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group 16384 inodes per group Superblock backups stored on blocks: 32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736, 1605632, 2654208, 4096000, 7962624, 11239424 Writing inode tables: done Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done This filesystem will be automatically checked every 32 mounts or 180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override. Please note that both seemed to complete succesfully, although the USB disk controller has really hung.
