Hello everybody, I'm using an official kernel 2.4.20 without any additional patches. My machine has 128 megabytes of ram.
It is impossible to write larger files to a big USB-storage device. Large means 400 to 800 megabytes. It is even impossible to regulary create an ext2 filesystem on a large disk. E.g. mke2fs /dev/sda1 crashes the system on a 10 gigabytes partition. At least it is possible to do it in single user mode. I also observe that the machine becomes very unresponsive ( mouse does not move for half a minute ) before the crash. Many processes might be blocked, this is the reason why it is working in single user mode, there are "almost no" processes which could cause a lock. Other people have observed this too, see : http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg05292.html Can anybody reproduce the problem ? Or do you need more information about it ? Best regards.
