Hey, I got myself a memory stick yesterday, and was pleasantly supprised when I plugged it in to my Linux box (FC3) at work and it was immediately detected and mounted. I could read / write to it with no problems at all. So, I took it home with me and did some work last night on my linux (FC3 also) laptop - which I tar/gz'd and saved on my memory stick. Put the memory stick back in to my work box this morning - and the files from last night are gone (heh - this is a bit like the 'ole "the dog ate my homework" excuse isn't it...). So I played around a bit more with plugging in -> writing -> unplugging and noticed that sometimes the written files can be seen after plugging back in, and sometimes they cant. In terms of sys logs: Logs for scenario: Remove stick - files lost: Mar 16 08:06:15 trinity kernel: usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 4 Mar 16 08:06:15 trinity kernel: scsi1 (0:0): rejecting I/O to device being removed Mar 16 08:06:15 trinity kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sdb1, logical block 1 Mar 16 08:06:15 trinity kernel: lost page write due to I/O error on sdb1 Mar 16 08:06:15 trinity kernel: scsi1 (0:0): rejecting I/O to device being removed Mar 16 08:06:16 trinity kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sdb1, logical block 81 Mar 16 08:06:16 trinity kernel: lost page write due to I/O error on sdb1 Mar 16 08:06:16 trinity kernel: scsi1 (0:0): rejecting I/O to device being removed Mar 16 08:06:16 trinity kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sdb1, logical block 846 Mar 16 08:06:16 trinity kernel: lost page write due to I/O error on sdb1 Mar 16 08:06:16 trinity kernel: scsi1 (0:0): rejecting I/O to device being removed Mar 16 08:06:16 trinity kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sdb1, logical block 1568 Mar 16 08:06:16 trinity kernel: lost page write due to I/O error on sdb1 Mar 16 08:06:16 trinity fstab-sync[14463]: removed mount point /media/REMOVABLE for /dev/sdb1 Logs for scenario: Remove stick - files retained: Mar 16 08:12:23 trinity kernel: usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 6 Mar 16 08:12:23 trinity kernel: scsi3 (0:0): rejecting I/O to dead device Mar 16 08:12:23 trinity kernel: FAT bread failed in fat_clusters_flush Mar 16 08:12:23 trinity kernel: scsi3 (0:0): rejecting I/O to dead device Mar 16 08:12:23 trinity kernel: SCSI error: host 3 id 0 lun 0 return code = 4000000 Mar 16 08:12:23 trinity kernel: Sense class 0, sense error 0, extended sense 0 Mar 16 08:12:23 trinity fstab-sync[14967]: removed mount point /media/REMOVABLE for /dev/sdc1 Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?
