>Description:
It is no longer possible to read CF cards with FAT file
systems (digital camera data) with -CURRENT. This situation
has persisted for well over a month.
I have given this PR the category critical/high because of the
data corruption and the fact that it occurs in what is to
become a part of the base kernel. Ideally, the change to this
implementatino should not have occurred until such bugs were
ironed out.
>How-To-Repeat:
Mount a compact flash card on a -CURRENT machine:
ad4: FAILURE - SETFEATURES status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=4<ABORTED>
ad4: FAILURE - SETFEATURES status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=4<ABORTED>
GEOM: create disk ad4 dp=0xc217d070
ad4: 46MB <> [185/16/32] at ata2-master PIO2
# mount -t msdos /dev/ad4s1 /camera
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s3a
# xv <any image file>
The file will be corrupt.
The same hardware, running under 4.6-RELEASE, does not report the
failures above:
ata4 at port 0x240-0x247,0x24e irq 11 slot 0 on pccard0
ad8: 46MB <> [185/16/32] at ata4-master BIOSPIO
After copying the file to disk, the EOF is the same, but the
contents are different (and correct in this case):
$ cmp dscn2621.jpg dscn2621-corrupt.jpg
dscn2621.jpg dscn2621-corrupt.jpg differ: char 7681, line 30
The data comes back in sync at offset 8192, suggesting that
the data is not being transferred for the full length.
