[Bug 30640] Re: displayed progress not correct when copying files to an usb stick
** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Wishlist = Low ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Status: New = Triaged ** Summary changed: - displayed progress not correct when copying files to an usb stick + Displayed progress not correct due to kernel fs cache. Need O_SYNC when copying files. ** Description changed: When copying files to an usb stick the progress is not displayed correctly. The progress bar shows that it is finished but when plugging the usb stick out and in the files are not on the usb stick. When waiting for some time after copying the files the files are really on the stick. - This happens in Breezy and Dapper. - - Please, change the package name if I selected the wrong package. Thanks! + This problem is especially acute for slow usb sticks, but the progress + bar is wrong in all cases since it is only reporting progress of the + kernel to accept the writes into its cache. Nautilus should use O_SYNC + on the destination file so it will be informed of the progress properly. -- Displayed progress not correct due to kernel fs cache.

This bug is still occuring (Ubuntu 9.10, 64bits). The progress bar reaches 100% while there are still write access to the device, no matter the usb key brand and write speed. ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid = New -- displayed progress not correct when copying files to an usb stick https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/30640 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 30640] Re: displayed progress not correct when copying files to an usb stick
This effect appears not only when copying any data to or from an USB stick. I observe this behaviour also when I zip an archive. For me this is very annoying because the progress bar gives no information about when any operation is finished. For what is such a progress bar useful? Where can I get the information about finishing the copy or archiving process? At the moment I press F5 in Dolphin every few seconds to see if the filesize is still changing...

[Bug 30640] Re: displayed progress not correct when copying files to an usb stick
The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test: 1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux- image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test. --or-- 2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD. Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback. ** Tags added: cft-2.6.27 -- displayed progress not correct when copying files to an usb stick https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/30640 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I am closing this. You need to unmount (Safely Remove) your USB drive properly. In Gutsy and Hardy there is a progressbar when unmounting to make sure everything gets synced before the drive is unplugged. ** Changed in: kdebase (Ubuntu) Status: New = Invalid -- displayed progress not correct when copying files to an usb stick https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/30640 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 30640] Re: displayed progress not correct when copying files to an usb stick
Well the progress bar does not show any progre, it just bounces left and right. Ultimately, the kernel should be changed so that when cp finishes, all data has been copied I think. Not invalid I think. ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- displayed progress not correct when copying files to an usb stick https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/30640 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 30640] Re: displayed progress not correct when copying files to an usb stick
I think you can get that effect by mounting with the sync option, but there are good reasons for not doing so. -- displayed progress not correct when copying files to an usb stick https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/30640 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 30640] Re: displayed progress not correct when copying files to an usb stick
Copying files on the command line behaves similarly. The operation is not complete until well after you've been returned to the command line. I know the moment it's done by umounting the device and waiting for *that* to complete. I believe this to be a kernel issue, not a desktop interface issue. -- displayed progress not correct when copying files to an usb stick https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/30640 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 30640] Re: displayed progress not correct when copying files to an usb stick
That does seem to be the case - the copy operation considers itself to be finished once the data has been successfully copied to the filesystem buffer. We could leave the progress indicator up until a successful 'sync', I suppose. -- displayed progress not correct when copying files to an usb stick https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/30640 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
