For the first time in some while I booted up Ubuntu to try and provoke this issue. I copied a memory card from my camera, but none of the images were garbled. I have to say that this issue did not happen every time and with every picture; it was usually fine, but every once in a while the issue came up with some pictures. Therefore I am not surprised that I couldn't see any corruption today. I guess the only way to get to this bug is to continue using the card reader until I get the bug, and then use that memory card as a test case for later.
But AFAIK the issue came up on cards where I had deleted bad pictures to make room for more pictures. A newly formatted card that was just filled up was not a problem, but a fragmented memory card seemed to be. Therefore I suspect I can provoke the bug to pop up if I try to take pictures, deleting them, taking some more, ... and then try to read the card. I tried doing something similar to this today by copying and deleting files to the card, and that actually crashed the FAT filesystem! I don't know if that is related, but I am attaching that kernel log anyway. I will be back with more information (upstream kernel and 9.10 image) when I am able to get some corrupted images again. Could take a while, though ... ** Attachment added: "Kernel log from when deleting files & copying files to the memory card crashed the FAT file system." http://launchpadlibrarian.net/30214111/kern.log.snip.txt -- ene internal sd card reader faulty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/262204 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
