Comment 5 for bug 239649

I tried the 2.6.27-2 kernel in alpha 5, and the bug is definitely still there. Although initially there seemed to be no problem, I found that if I am running a VM inside VirtualBox 2.0.2, I frequently get the write errors. This seems to match Hardy's kernel, where the write errors occur frequently if vmware or VBox is running, and less frequently otherwise.

One difference is that the copy in Intrepid seems to complete faster when there are errors (Hardy slows right down).

Just like in Hardy, nautilus in Intrepid did not warn that errors had occurred during the copy (it completed normally), even though the messages log showed the errors.

A subsequent diff reported differences between the files.

I installed the 2.6.27-3 kernel this morning to try it but virtualbox no longer ran so I gave up (temporarily!).
