Public bug reported:
I have a Maxtor IDE drive set to master, a dvd drive set to slave, and a SATA
drive. The SATA drive has the OS installed, and the Maxtor is a storage drive,
with some very important files on it.
When I start up the computer, everything works fine. I can read and write from
the disk and everything works. But after some amount of time, or some amount of
disk use, it just stops working. I can browse through the files in nautilus if
i had browsed through those folders before(folders that i hadn't previously
browsed just show up as empty), but say for example i open a video file: totem
will pop up and do nothing. Same with VLC. If i press play it just does
nothing. Same thing happens with music files in VLC, totem, and rythmbox. If i
try to open open office documents or .doc from the drive, it asks me to choose
the filetype from a list. If i choose the filetype, a window pops up saying,
"Error reading file." And hitting ok makes open office close (even though it
never really came up).
Also, in nautilus, every topmost folder (in the folder tree) has that lock
symbol that shows if i have access to it. When the problem isn't happening,
that lock symbol isnt there.
I already transferred all the files on that drive to a different drive, so it's
not that important to me, but if i didnt have this SATA drive i assume i
wouldn't even be able to install Ubuntu.
