Hi
My system is a P4/2.8HT, ASUS P4P800VM mobo, 512MB running XP and FC3 dual boot.
I connected an external 40gb seagate hardisk (2 partitions ext3 and NTFS) via USB 2.0 enclosure under xp and was copying large files (around 700 MB each) to NTFS when I got a delayed write error. On google found thousands of people having same trouble and no known workable solution yet. It looked like a windoze issue.
I then booted FC3 and tried copying files to the ext3 partition. Surprisingly simliar error occured and the copy stopped. Harddisk was also unmounted. Surprisingly common behaviour on both os.
QUestion : Is this a common problem also under FC3 (linux itself ?) and how to resolve. The only way I found a consistently workable soln (stupid soln in fact) was to connect the casing via USB 1.1 hub to the pc. Slows it down but consistently works.
Please help
Regards
Srini
