This should make writing and reading more reliable. Also: - change loop condition to make "retries" semantically correct - add a debug message in case of fatal failure --- And here is the test for how many retries were required at maximum. In case anyone wants to try for themselves. barebox:/ usb && mkdir /mnt/usb && mount /dev/disk0.0 /mnt/usb && echo 'generating 100MiB file' && memcpy -s /dev/prng -d testfile 0x0 0x0 104857600 && echo 'writing file to drive' && cp testfile /mnt/usb/testfile && md5sum testfile /mnt/usb/testfile; ls -l testfile /mnt/usb/testfile The highest max_retries for our three drives was 4.
