I might even go so far as to file a Trac ticket on your behalf if I see the same behavior and you don't get around to it first.I did this in this exact minute: 1 - Unzipped the entire Haiku tree inside Haiku. 2 - When it finished, I hit F12. 3 - Rebooted. When I came back, all the files and all the directories in the root dirwere there. For obvious reasons I didn't check every single file but as he clains that all files will not be there no matter what, I gues sthis closethis case. But, of course, feel free to try it yourself.
GAAAAAARGH! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING... TO... JUST... MEEEEEEE!!!!Ok... you're using *REAL* hardware? NOT running Haiku inside of an emulator?
If this is the case, then I want to know what hardware you're using. Every piece. I will consider buying it on eBay immediately. Not directly from you, obviously. Then what would YOU have? :-D
Hmm... I am using a Via chipset-based motherboard with an AMD Athlon XP 2000+. BeOS doesn't like my IDE controller and takes a whopping 5 minutes 42 seconds to copy a 500Mb folder. With an add-on IDE driver from BeBits, it copies that same file in 35 second. So, we know BeOS, natively, doesn't like/recognize my IDE controller. It's an UDMA133 controller, of that I am certain. Could Haiku be having a similar issue, expressed in a different way?
I've noticed my copy of Windows XP is getting some glitches and whatnot. The C:/ directory has a bunch of "FOUND00x" files, after doing a check disk scan. Could my drive be going bad? It's a Maxtor 30Gb 7200RPM UDMA133 drive. I've had it several years now. Yet Windows XP and BeOS R5 still work fine in it... file copying and all!
Dragging my Haiku drive (Maxtor 30Gb) to my Intel Core2Quad Q6600 rig might not prove anything either, if the drive is going south. It *would* prove something if it was a controller-based issue, however.
Does anyone have a concrete list of hardware that Haiku supports 100%? I need to know brands, model numbers, revisions, size, speed, type, etc. The whole kit 'n' kaboodle. Nothing left to chance.
Trust me, I do *NOT* like complaining like this. It is NOT my "supreme goal in life" to be a hated PITA to everyone who has worked so hard to bring Haiku so far. I would FAR rather be cheering than complaining.
And now that you are claiming you have done EXACTLY what I have asked, and your files are still there... it makes me all the more furious! I must find out what is wrong and get to the pure, untainted state of "Haiku Bliss" that everyone else is in!
Er, except for that annoying 32-bit graphics glitch that... I... won't be complaining about. ;-) Er, unless it takes months to resolve. In which case, you MIGHT here a little whining from me... once in a while... like every day. :-D
Just kidding! Happy April Fools! Latre! Luposian
