Marc,
yes... something was changed in the "sync" for vfat filesystem. Don't trust me too much, but it's something like this:
- Before (2.6.11) data gets writen to disk and then synced.
- After (2.6.12) data gets written to disk, then synced and then vfat table synced too.
That's or something else, you can look in lkml, but what I know for sure is that this is new in 2.6.12 |

And that could have been because of this thing. I have readed too much reports of people fucking up usb sticks with this kernel. I don't know what kernel devs are thinking... |

Yeah?!?! Can't believe it! I do the same to mine because without plastic it was very thin. After three months, it started to work only sometimes and I had to blend it to work. Now it's dead. |

Well mine was an mp3 player, a little more components on it, well it just gave a black screen on the little screen, and linux didnt recognize it anymore, just like in windows, but no components were fallen off or broke off.
And now the screen is broken as well lol. _________________ MOBO: Maximus II Gene

Someone changed something in the vfat driver so now something like "every bit copied is synced and fat table updated", so it's very slow and even dangerous to the flash drive.
You should not use sync in /etc/fstab. If you use udev, which uses sync by default, you should avoid that behaviour by changing the file /usr/share/hal/fdi/90defaultpolicy/storage-policy.fdi. The next two lines must be changed from TRUE to FALSE:
<merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.sync" type="bool">false</merge>
<merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.sync" type="bool">false</merge>
And by the way, you now must unmount the flash drive before extracting it because of the no-sync thing. |
tnx I changed these lines since they seemed the two relevant ones
Code: |
<!-- Use noatime and sync options for all hotpluggable or removable
volumes smaller than 2GB -->
<match key="volume.size" compare_lt="2147483648">
<match key="@block.storage_device:storage.hotpluggable" bool="true">
<merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.sync" type="bool">false</merge>
<merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.noatime" type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
<match key="@block.storage_device:storage.removable" bool="true">
<merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.sync" type="bool">false</merge>
<merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.noatime" type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
</match>

Just gotta find my stick to see if it is ok.
So this gets teh storage/transfer speed up to normal then - no real prob with unmmout before removal, do anyway even with Gnome-volume manager _________________

that's right, but you'll have to wait a little more before the umount finish depending on the flash drive speed.
But this will enlarge the life of your device |

I've got problems with the TCP patches. When I run freenet for a while, I always get a kernel panic in net/ipv4/tcp_output.c
Changing to vanilla (2.6.12.3) solved the problem. _________________ "You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one." |

Almost all love patches are in vanilla now. Its no reason to make new one with the same patchlist now.

Sorry for being rude, but what is the reason for using love-sources, if all love patches are in vanilla right now anyway? Not that I'm s´dissapointed with love (I told before), but what differences can I expect from love in future? |

I'd love to use "sex-sources" if they were around
Can't do the kernel hack myself but; I'd give every support I can!!! |

I wouldn't call that sex, but anyway you're kind of right
Maybe I should go out more often and have my eyes lasered to get ridd of my nerd glasses.. anyway sexy is a nice attribute I think; not as deep and meaningful as love, but still quite attractive! I'd use them! |

I'd like to take this time to personally thank every single user of Love-sources throughout what has been an experience of a lifetime - sometimes I cursed you guys for breaking it, sometimes I hated you for making false claims of my brilliance - but overall working on this project has be a very pleasant experience and I know that when I started this thing in the dark dungeon I called home years ago I didn't expect it to ever be publicly available, then when that happened, I didn't expect anyone to use it and Love-sources grew to be come, I'm told, the second or third (depending of course on weither or not -mm is a patchset or an official tree in your line of thinking) most used non-vendor patchset in the world. I take it the ratio of mental people in the world is larger than I thought, because all the way through the project I kept saying I had little clue about what was really going on - running something I wrote on your kernel takes guts beyond all meassure - Insane people I salute you.
The project started as a way to research a bit into all the proposed solutions to the imfamous lag bug, and since that is long gone - the original goal for the project as such can be deemed a succes, not so much because we had any impact on the solution, but at least we had fun during the journey. And by all meassure in life, it's not the goal but the journey that counts - I thank you all for making mine an interesting and eventful one.
Even you Ciaranm, and I'm sorry for all the mess the project might have inadvertantly cause you and your fellow developers.
Let's bid a friend farewell, Love-sources may you rest in peace. |

Aye. It was also great time for me. I remember some periods like genetic-nicksched experiences hehe and kicking-out reiser4 from love. Ahhh nice. It seems that my journey with the "patchseting" is finished, but ...maybe one day...
Thanks and R.I.P

thankyou Fallow, they were some nice kernels. Got a bit boring when Gentoo just worked (with the quality of ebuilds improving). The on-the-edge patches brought back fault-finding _________________
