Nautilus write errors on EXT3 on Seagate 7200.11

[imclean]

Binary package hint: nautilus

Ubuntu 8.04
Nautilus 2.22.5.1

Motherboard: Abit NF7-S Nforce2 (sil 3112A sata chip I think)
Problem HDD Seagate 7200.11 500gb (ST3500320AS)

writing data to a sata seagate 7200.11 drive produces numerous write errors.
writing to older sata 7200.10 is fine, writing to ntfs partitions using winXP on 7200.11 works OK also.
Tried new sata cable, no change.
Tried latest bios update for HDD (as at 22-2-09) but no change.
formatted partittion and tried copy again, no change.
Will try HDD in external enclosure and connect with USB soon to eliminate onboard sata controller as problem.
Not sure of other program to use to copy? Tried emelfm2 but crashes when trying to access home folder as sudo

thank you for your bug report. is the issue specific to nautilus? does copying using the command line or an another tool works correctly?

Hi,
tried moving the disk to an external usb enclosure. This made no difference.
Also tried copying by command line - this works fine.

Is there something else I need to do?
At this point it seems to me that Nautilus definitely has some sort of bug.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

could you try if that's still an issue in intrepid or jaunty? do you get the issue using gvfs-copy? are you sure you don't have hardware issues, it's weird that copy in nautilus would create any such issue, nobody else complained about that and the copy mechanism is quite standard and tested

[imclean (ipxdesign)]

No - I can't guarantee it is not a hardware issue - I'm not that clued
up.
Just seemed strange it only happened in Nautilus.
Problem now seems to have disappeared - I thought because of update?
Perhaps this indicates that is was some kind of hardware issue?

not sure but closing since that works now
