That bug may have been closed because it is detected on a 10.0, but already reproduced on a 11.2. The only precondition is that the ext3 file system has been created with a 10.0. This has been reproduced with the current SLES 11 built by SuSE studio some days ago. To simplify the test setup an external USB hard disk holds two partitions. The file system on the target partition is created. The data of one file system is copied to the other one by command cp. The test setup needs around four to six hours to get the observed behaviour: The copy process names errors because the devices are renamed. At the moment I've reproduced that several times. For the SLES I have the same behaviour with 'dd if=/dev/zero of=./Testdatei.txt bs=4k count=100000' within the related directory - the size represents a smaller test file. Afterwards after removing the file I can redo the copying without any errors. Thus I go back to the initial test setup. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. copy a large amount of data to an external USB device 2. 3. Actual Results: the devices are getting lost new device names are appearing -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
