I also think there's two bugs going on here. Note however, I also use a WD Passport (320GB) drive (on the SB600, the nforce, the MSI and Proliants) and never have had this problem. I transfer large (and many) files to and from the Passport drive and USB flash media with no problems. It's only with the (Fedora) livecd, so I'm now guessing that my problem is somewhat different than what's going on here.
I'm preparing an Ubuntu livecd on USB at the moment. Seems like it works more-or-less the same as with Fedora, that is, underlying (generic FAT) filesystem, squashfs base image and some form of overlay for persistence, although with Ubuntu there's a separate ext3 (casper-rw) filesystem while Fedora (apparently) stores it's persistence data in an (loop back mounted) LVM copy-on-write snapshot. So many choices ;-) Sorry for the confusion/contamination, David -- ehci_hcd module causes I/O errors in USB 2.0 devices https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/88746 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
