| |
I have a digital camera flash card that is locking up my machine (stock redhat 7.2 w/2.4.9-13 kernel).
I can mount the card, but as soon as I browse the filesystem, the machine locks hard. I successfully copied the file system from the raw device to a file and tried mounting it as:
mount -o loop flash.img /mnt/flash
and it still locks up the machine just as before. This makes me think it has nothing to do with the USB reader or the SCSI emulation, etc.
My guess is I have a corrupt filesystem on the flash that the filesystem handler (vfat) is intolerant of (all my other flash cards work fine).
This seems like a possible kernel bug to me. I'm not much of a kernel expert but I have a copy of the offending image if anyone wants to or can look at it. (ftp://actarg.com/pub/misc/flash.img) Is there someone that knows how to figure out if the driver can spit out a harmless message about filesystem corruption rather than taking the whole kernel down?
