Problems writing to USB?

Forum thread started by AndrewZ on Tue, 2010-02-02 00:03

I installed the 1/31/10 nightly build on top of the Alpha R1 release. I can read from 4 GB Sandisk USB drive but I cannot write to it. It is mounted read/write. When I copy using cp file /SANDISK it sits and does not complete. I notice that the USB light blinks randomly. When I pull the disk out I get a kernel panic.

Is this a known issue?

Thanks,
Andrew

I do not think this is a known problem -not that I know of anyway- so you should create a ticket on http://dev.haiku-os.org/ with all the details you can give.

I'm not sure... Did you get and reply to the activation mail after registering? I have no idea, maybe you can log in without activation, but can't add a new ticket...?
Maybe try IRC. mmadia should be able to help you, I think.

Very sure your ticket is same as this one:
http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/3690

I have no time to check and block it, can someone else do it?

You should look through the older ticket for more information about the issue.
