Comment 8 for bug 40561

The log I posted above is from Feisty Beta, which I started from CD as a LIVE system on my laptop in order to test the stick. However, I get the same behaviour on my installed Edgy (same machine and stick). What I haven't tried so far is testing it from an *installed* Feisty (I won't be able to do that before the end of April).

What I found out as well is that the error depends on a combination of the amount of files and the size of these files. Copying one big file of 200MB doesn't cause any problems, copying 6000 files of 80MB will produce the error, however, splitting these 6000 files into chunks and doing a "sync" after each chunk it works fine. Example:

~/Folder/Subfolder1 contains 2000 files of 20MB
~/Folder/Subfolder2 contains 2000 files of 20MB
~/Folder/Subfolder3 contains 1000 files of 20MB
~/Folder/Subfolder4 contains 1000 files of 20MB

Copying ~/Folder do the stick will cause the crash. Copying each subfolder separately with a "sync" after each subfolder runs fine.

Seems like there's a limit of the amount of files and/or file size which defines if the error occurs or not.
