Torrent file for use by Azureus which causes the problem
I doubt this is anything caused by Gentoo maintained code so we should get this issue to an upstream bug tracker. For that there are three possibilities: -kernel -Sun -Azureus I am thinking about the first one as programs should not be able to corrupt file systems that easily from user space. Kernel: Any thoughts? Also please try to replicate this issues with the latest gentoo-sources. Please test azureus 3.0.3.4 (In reply to comment #3) > Please test azureus 3.0.3.4 > 3.0.2.2 has not had a problem since I updated it. I keep my Gentoo system fully up to date (currently running kernel 2.6.22-gentoo-r9). My concern was not the application that did the damage (azureus) but the fact that the FAT32 filesystem could be corrupted in this way. Still, the problem has not recurred, so I guess I am ok with closing this case, if the powers that be feel it should be closed. this is a warez torrent download Comment on attachment 124626 [details]

Bugzilla admins: please remove the attachment, I tried but looks like I can't. The torrent contains no private key, and distributing a .torrent is legal (connecting to the tracker however may be illegal in some jurisdictions). I don't see any reason to remove it. I will however weigh in on the bug itself - I'd strongly bet that either the FAT32 filesystem already had some corruption (forcibly fsck it), or that you are hitting a kernel bug as your kernel is quite old. Test with a much newer kernel, and also make sure that you fsck the partition. You could also try a client such as rtorrent to exclude Azureus being the source of the problem.

Yeah the reporter said in comment 4 that the bug didn't occur again and it's been a while already so let's close it as WORKSFORME. |
