#7572: Unable to initialize BFS on usb disk -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Giova84 | Owner: stippi Type: bug | Status: new Priority: blocker | Milestone: R1/alpha3 Component: | Version: R1/alpha3 Applications/DriveSetup | Keywords: drivesetup initialize Resolution: | bfs usb sd hard disk Blocked By: | Blocking: Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: x86 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by taos): Replying to [comment:16 mmlr]: > Apart from this making no sense (and it's not "USB mice" being fixed, but a very specific interrupt non-routing causing an interrupt overlap with a USB controller and therefore the ports routed to it not working): What "a few users" are you talking about? Please redirect them onto this bug tracker and make sure that such problems get logged in new tickets! I am not aware of any such problems, so I really need to have those reports. Thanks. First, I'm sorry. I didn't want to jump to conclusions - I've already mentioned that I thought it was very unlikely that the problem was related to recent IO-APIC changes. And you are right, of course, ticket #7520 isn't about a non-working usb mouse, I only referred to it this way because the initial reporter named the ticket "USB mouse can't work when IO-APIC is enabled". I'll try to be more precise the next time. The problems a few users seemed to experience are either reported on bug tracker and have already been taken care of or have resolved for one reason or another. So, nothing to worry about in this regard. But back to the initialization problem: I now think it's in no way related to computer hardware (and especially usb controllers) - I've experienced the reported problem only with one usb storage device (out of 15), an usb stick that was pre-formatted in an unusual way. All standard fat32 disks (no matter if formatted by linux or windows) show a partition structure (e.g. /dev/disk/usb/0/0/0, linux style: /dev/sda1) and can be initialized by the latest alpha3 rc when the entire disk (/dev/disk/usb/0/0/raw, linux: /dev/sda) is chosen. The one odd usb stick shows a structure like a bfs disk without seperate partitions (only /dev/disk/usb/0/0/raw) and can't be initialized. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/7572#comment:24> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
