I think I am having this bug, but mine seems like it is more serious. I have a Corsair Flash Voyager 16G flash drive, and when reading/writing files, after a while (usually several hundred megs) it fails with Input/Output error. When it fails though, the usb port it was plugged into is no longer usable until I reboot the system. The Linux root hub entries disappear from lsusb, and I get errors in messages/dmesg.
This happens on a Sony Vaio PCG-NVR23, running 9.04 fully updated. The Flash drive works fine on my desktop (also Ubuntu 9.04). It's formatted FAT32. I've had this problem for a long time now, though I don't use this laptop a lot, so I've only done a few google/ubuntu forums searches every now and then with no helpful results. uname -a : Linux vaiobox 2.6.28-13-generic #45-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 30 19:49:51 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux The error is (used rsync this time): rsync: read errors mapping "/media/disk/casper-rw": Input/output error (5) I'm attaching a tar file with (from before the error) : lspci -vv, lshal, dmesg, fdisk, lsmod, lsusb and (from after the error): messages, dmesg_after, lsusb_after If any other info would be useful, let me know. ** Attachment added: "info.tar.gz" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/28844694/info.tar.gz -- usb flash drive error when copying files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301795 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
