Hi, > cat /proc/version
Says: Linux version 2.6.32-5-amd64 (Debian 2.6.32-38) (b...@decadent.org.uk) (gcc version 4.3.5 (Debian 4.3.5-4) ) #1 SMP Mon Oct 3 03:59:20 UTC 2011 I was confused by the similarity of "2.6.32-5-amd64" and "2.6.32-38" which made me think that "-38" should replace "-5". > This shows a crash in close() not ioctl(). This is plausible, now that you stated it. The xorriso command -toc causes ioctl(SG_IO) on the open filedescriptor. If the ioctl() fails, then the file descriptor gets closed, indeed. The original Oopses, which made me dig by xorriso, were with qemu which uses SG_IO, and with blkid, which probably does not. The Oops with qemu happened when i shut down client and qemu. At that time qemu had reported I/O errors as reply to my attempts to talk to the powerless drive. blkid was started by udevd. > But anyway, definitely another bug to be fixed. It was always a cool feature of Linux and USB drives that i could revive a stuck drive without rebooting the system. Very helpful when doing MMC experiments. This still works with squeeze, but it is quite ugly when all terminals scream "Kernel Oops" and a black window pops up urging me to report it. The machine is dedicated to testing. Just give me instructions if you want me to make experiments. Have a nice day :) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
