Hi,
I have some weird problems with my pendrives recently. I just compile a
2.6.9 to check if the problem is still exists there.
current kernel is 2.6.10-rc3 and the situation is the following:
If I copy more than few megabytes to the drive, the activity LED keeps
flashing forever. sync, umount keeps runing forever, normal reboot is
inpossible (alt+sysreq+b seems to work)
Tested with usb 1.1 and 2.0 pendrives, behaviour is the same.
I'm doing exactly that with 2.6.10-rc3. umount does take a very long time (but I had just written 600Mb+ over usb 1.1)
Are you sure it doesn't come back if you leave it long enough?
Do the throughput sums; you'll be suprised how long it takes to send more than a few Mb over usb 1.1 (1.5Mb/s). Eg 600Mb = 7minutes
Usb 2 should be much faster; Do you have EHCI loaded?
