RE: DbAu1550 copy file corruption

["David Sanchez" <david.sanchez@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I forgot to mention that I'm making my test on a ext2 filesystem...

More can somebody launch the test on another Alchemy board ? Dbau1500, Dbau1200, etc...

Thanks

David

Objet : DbAu1550 copy file corruption

Hi,

I still have a problem of file corruption after a big copy (around 300M) and no solution at this time...

Who have a dbau1550 and who could try the following script to check copies on big files?


####################################
#!/bin/sh

path_file=$1
if test -z $path_file ; then
	path_file=`pwd`
fi

# You can modify the source and the destination filename, the source file 
# size and the number of iterations.

# Source and destination filename
src_file=${path_file}/src_test_file
dst_file=${path_file}/dst_test_file
# Source file size: 300M
src_file_size=300000
# Number of iterations
let max_it=50

# Create source file
if test ! -f ${src_file} ; then
	echo "* Generating ${src_file}..."
	dd bs=1024 count=${src_file_size} if=/dev/urandom of=${src_file}
	echo ""
fi

# Check if source exists
if test -f ${src_file} ; then
	echo "* Check copy from $src_file to $dst_file:"
	echo ""
else
	echo "$src_file does NOT exist" ; exec false
fi

# Clear destination
if test -f ${dst_file} ; then
	rm ${dst_file}
fi

# Go
let i=0
let nb_err=0
while [ $i -lt $max_it ]
do
	cp ${src_file} ${dst_file}
	cmp ${src_file} ${dst_file}
	if [ $? -eq 0 ]
		then
			echo ${src_file} ${dst_file} IDENTICAL
		else
			let nb_err=nb_err+1
		fi
	rm ${dst_file}
	let i=i+1
done

# Result
echo ""
echo "Done"
echo -e "\t$nb_err error(s) over $max_it iteration(s)"
echo ""

On my DbAu155 + Sata HDD on PDC20579 + Linux Kernel 2.6.10 + busybox 1.0:
Each destination differs from the source:
