Hello all, I have the following questions about using the FAT Filesystem stack from RTEMS. When interfacing with an SD Card, I do these steps: - open a file on the successfully mounted device - execute some RW operations on the file - execute fflush() and fclose() - manually eject the SD card from the slot
At some point during the shutdown procedure, The FS will call the fat_fat32_update_fsinfo_sector() to syncronize the fsinfo sector. Because I didn't manually fsync-ed the device before ejecting the SD card, the FS will try to do it, issueing read/write commands to the device, which is no longer present in the card slot. From this point on, re-insertion of the SD card will fail until the SD controller is reset. My questions: 1. should the user be the sole responsible for manually calling fsync() after RW operations are performed? 2. is it normal that the FS stack crash in case card is ejected without proper callin fsync()? This issue does not occur if before ejecting I call fsync(). My point is that regardless if the user loses data in case card is ejected, the FS stack should still need to be able to be reinitialized after an unsuccessfull unmount/eject of the device. Thank you, Oliviu Gabor _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@rtems.org http://lists.rtems.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
