Bubba hangs when copying files, revisited

Post by nyogtha »

I noticed a couple of threads regarding this already, but none of them help me.

I bought a 2tb Bubba2 from you recently. I started copying my music-collection to it, and experienced crashes approximately 90% of the times I tried. I say crashes, but I have no way of knowing if the Bubba crashed, or if it was just a network issue. There's nothing in the logs, just normal logging and then the boot log, no errors prior to reboot. The copying was done from a computer running Windows Server 2003, using Bubba's samba-service.

I have read the other threads here regarding file copying, and checked my firmware version (it's the latest one). I have reflashed the base system, which didn't help, and 20 minutes ago I decided to enable your unstable sources in apt to test with a newer kernel. After running dist-upgrade and rebooting Bubba won't come back up. I am not in the same location as the server right now, so I can't pull the power, but I will check once I get home if I can get it running again or if I need to reflash the base from USB again.

Any advice? Bubba has so far been completely useless to me. I hope that'll change soon.

In case anyone else stumbles upon this problem, I am happy to report that after a cold reboot yesterday (after upgrading with devel sources) the Bubba has been stable and not shown any signs of illness even though I've been moving stuff to it constantly since then.

Any link to the guide you followed when you switched to the dev system ?

A new kernel sovling this problem is available in our unstable repository now. Furthermore, this will be released as a new software (probably later today). We'll announce the upgrade within short, be patient.

Thanks
