I just finished a clean install of 9.10 (new default partitions...nothing retained from previous install) on a Toshiba notebook with an old-school 120 GB parallel ATA drive (whatever you call the drives that came before SATA) and 2 GB of RAM.
I ran the following commands: openssl rand -out foo 629145600 md5sum foo sync md5sum foo cp foo bar md5sum foo bar sync md5sum foo bar openssl rand -out foo2 1073741824 md5sum foo2 sync md5sum foo2 cp foo2 bar2 md5sum foo2 bar2 md5sum foo bar foo2 bar2 > sums # rebooted the system md5sum foo bar foo2 bar2 All the sums were consistent. No variation. Either my system doesn't have the problem -or- there is something else which triggers it. For instance, maybe the files need to be some odd size rather than a clean multiple of 1 MB. The sizes I used above were 600 * 1024 * 1024 and 1024 * 1024 * 1024. I'll retry the test with an additional 17 bytes added to the file sizes to see if that makes any difference. I'll post again if it does. -- corruption of large files reported with linux 2.6.31-14.46 on ext4 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/453579 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
