https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D268005 Bug ID: 268005 Summary: rsync to FAT32 flash drive gets "Freeing unused sector" errors Product: Base System Version: 13.1-RELEASE Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: misc Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: wbe@psr.com Summary: rsync copying to a mounted FAT32 flash drive is getting "Freeing unused sector" errors. First seen Sept. 10. Keywords: msdosfs, rsync, flash drive, "Freeing unused sector" What fails: * rsync from HDD to a mounted FAT32 flash drive. * The error is always kernel: "Freeing unused sector". Things worked fine under FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE-p12 for amd64 and (I think) rsync 3.2.5. * The system was upgraded to FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE-p2 and rsync 3.2.6 on 8/3= 1. The problem first appeared on 9/10. As of -p4, it is still occurring. * It doesn't always happen (see below), but some cases are more likely to trigger the problem. Related things that haven't experienced the problem: * rsync to flash drives with a UFS file system continues to work fine. The problem has only appeared with flash drives using MSDOS/FAT32. * cp -pR of gigabytes of data from HDD to the FAT32 flash drive did fine. I've only seen the problem arise when using rsync. More: * I cp'd the flash drive's 7.1GB of files to HDD, did a complete reformat of the drive (not a "quick" format), and cp'd all the saved files back. That all went fine. I then ran rsync and the error arose again relatively quickly. * After getting the unused sector error, I ran Win10's "Scan and Repair" on= the drive. It says "Your drive has been successfully repaired", indicating t= hat the corruption, however it happened, appears to be real. * Reading from the drive seems to work fine. Discussion: At first, since it was happening with an old 8GB flash drive I'd used for years, I figured maybe it was just wearing out. So, I got a brand new, fresh out = of its package, 16GB flash drive. rsync ran for good while but the same error ("Freeing unused sector") happened. Once again, Win10 "Scan and Repair" sa= id successfully repaired, indicating there was at least one problem. [It says= no errors if there were no errors.] I *don't* believe the new drive is hardware flaky. I especially don't beli= eve a brand new flash drive would be the exact same kind of flaky as the old driv= e. This is what leads me to think some sort of bug has crept in to either FreeBSD's msdosfs code or rsync (or one of its libraries).

The sector info changes: Sep 20 17:32:28 kernel: {mymountpoint}: Freeing unused sector 457900 12 fe000000 and Nov 21 00:19:09 kernel: {mymountpoint}: Freeing unused sector 8816 16 b3c07= fff and Nov 26 00:56:50 kernel: {mymountpoint}: Freeing unused sector 185786 26 da000000 This last one occurred following the complete reformat, so there shouldn't have been any file system problem at mount time. Today, the same problem happened with the brand new drive: Nov 26 08:07:11 kernel: da0: 14976MB (30670848 512 byte sectors) Nov 26 10:10:18 kernel: {mymountpoint}: Freeing unused sector 957732 4 ffff= fe00 and a bit later: Nov 26 14:18:49 kernel: {mymountpoint}: Freeing unused sector 943666 18 fffbaf7f What seems to make the problem more likely to occur: On the old drive, the majority of the files hadn't changed since the previo= us rsync, so rsync did lots of reading and comparing, but not that much writin= g. The problem occurred. The first time I ran rsync with the new drive, none of the old files were there, so rsync was mostly writing some 7GB. That went fine, just like the 7GB cp= to the old drive went fine. Then, the second time, I'd changed the rsync comm= and to include 2 directories I'd excluded the first time, and it was while writ= ing those files that it died with the log entries above. For now, it looks like rsync to a FAT32/512 flash drive is unreliable. I hope this can get fixed. -WBE --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
