I'm having some problems with large writes to two separate USB drives under two separate environments.
The Drives: Maxtor personal Storage 300LE Storix Compact Drive The Systems: Dell Optiplex with RedHat 7.2 (kernel 2.4.9, USB 1.1) Custom MIPS-based system (kernel 2.4.2 and 2.4.19-rc1, USB 2.0) The drives test fine with a Dell Dimension running Windows 2000. While formatting the drives for ext2 on either Linux system, the format process hangs for 30 seconds at a time while writing the inode table. If the drive is formatted, and I attempt to copy a large number of files to it, the copy will stall for 30-40 seconds at a time during the write. The MIPS system will usually hang at some point, early on in the copy process. Has anyone seen anything like this before? If not, I'll escalate my email to the usb-developers list and see if I can get any input on how to do a little kernel hacking to track down the cause of the problem. I had planned to test the 2.5.25 kernel on the MIPS system, but it doesn't include MIPS support for its new threading (missing include/asm-mips/thread_info.h). I'd rather stick with 2.4.19 anyway... -- Tom Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Two, two, TWO treats in one. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-users
