This is related to the problems I've been reporting for the past 8 months. I have an 8mb CF card, and a CF reader that is recognized by Linux and I have no trouble mounting it. However, I experience file corruption on both reading and writing.
To test this, I tried this: 1. Attach the CF reader and card to my Linux machine. 2. dd if=/dev/sda1 of=file1.dd 3. dd if=file1.dd of=/dev/sda1 4. dd if=/dev/sda1 of=file2.dd Then I compare file1.dd and file2.dd. Both files are a total of 7979008 bytes. Of these, 13266 bytes are different between the two files. The differing bytes occur in 58 different blocks of contiguous bytes. I don't see any specific patterns between the two sets of files. I see none of these issues when I use the hardware on a W2K and a WXP machine. What can cause this to happen, and are there any fixes? I happen to be using 2.4.18, but I've also tried vanilla 2.4.19 and saw the same problems. I am going to try 2.4.21 in about a week or two to see if this fixes the problems, but I'm not optimistic. If any other information would be helpful, let me know. I checked /var/log/messages and dmesg, and didn't see any information at all that looked interesting.
