Just updated my F26 and went to copy some files to a stick for transfer. If I try
to copy a file either with drag and drop or using Konsole and cp, the system will
not copy the full file and will just freeze. I tried different sticks on the
system with no luck.
I have tested with the same results on two different computers with different sticks.
It looks like I can copy small files but large files won't work. Even if I try
copy files using sudo, it still does the same thing, using 3 or 4 processors to
100% and the copy process hangs.
I can mount the stick manually using sudo and copy files with no issue.
Mount differences are:
This is what mount shows when I use the KDE desktop
/dev/sdc1 on /run/media/user/MyStick type vfat
(rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1100,gid=1100,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,showexec,utf8,flush,errors=remount-ro,uhelper=udisks2)
Mounting by sudo
/dev/sdc1 on /mnt/temp type vfat
(rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro)
ps shows that the process is waiting for the drive with a D+ in the status. It
will do this for an hour if I leave it.
I don't know where to start looking to report a bug to provide more details for the
bug report.
First, can you define "large"? I just transferred a 1GB file to mine without trouble.
When I plug in a USB drive and select "Open with File Manager" mount shows...
/dev/sdg1 on /run/media/egreshko/0E3723CF5E376877 type fuseblk
(rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096,uhelper=udisks2)
I think the differences may be due to my formatting the drive partition as ntfs. Is
there a chance you could use that instead of vfat?
NTFS is not an option. I don't know how many sticks you purchase that
are already formatted with NTFS and work on old and new windows. How
many cameras do you know that work with NTFS cards. I have to test some
cards later when time permits.
I am talking 400MB and above with my few tests. Same sticks when
manually mounted work okay.
I wonder why the system shows that it is waiting for the drive which
points me to a communication issue between the USB sub system and KDE.
I still want to know what sub-systems I need to watch to find out how to
report this. I have a bunch of work to do and if this is a continuing
issue, it will cost me in lost productivity.
Funny thing happened when I tried to transfer a file with File Manager.
ls -l showed the whole file transferred in less than 1 sec, even though
it was a 700MB file. Even the status graph was full before I could open
the widget. Then the hang. Full file was never transferred.
To me this is a critical bug.
