Steps to reproduce: mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1 (happens with any filesystem ext3, ext2, fat) mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdisk cp -Rp linux-2.6.9-rc3 /mnt/usbdisk cd /mnt/usbdisk make mrproper make menuconfig or copy .config make or just write a lot of files and delete and write ... you will get IO-Errors. On ext3 you get an aborted journal.... -------------------------------------------------------------- I asked: You report that you get I/O errors with Linux kernels 2.6.3-2.6.9. Are there kernels that work?

I found this entry because I looked for problems with the partition code. However, this is better labeled "I/O errors with usb-storage". Let me forward this to the usb-storage list.
