Problems copying files from digital camera (sid)
I had some problem copying files from my camera recently. Could it be a
kernel issue? Here the details in case someone can help me trace the problem:
I've been happily using a digital camera (Minolta) for several months now.
Since it uses USB Mass Storage, I only need to define an entry in my fstab,
/dev/sda1 /camera auto defaults,user 0 0
and with mount /camera it is ready to access the memory card (SD) and copy
files to the hard disk. A few weeks ago I bought a new SD card, and when I
filled it with photos, I had problems with two of them to copy. 151 photos
without problem, only 2 of them.
I was working in my sid laptop, and I received an input/output error message
on the console. When I saw the copied photos with eog, gthumb, or anything,
only a part of the image was visible, and the rest was gray. One of the
application complains about a premature end of jpeg file. If I see them in
the camera itself, no problem.
It was the first time I used the card, so I was worried that
it was defective, but I tried in a computer at the store where I bought it
and all pictures were seen complete. I now tried at my office's woody
machine, and no problem. I could copy them without error.
At the office I'm using kernel 2.4.18-bf2.4 (woody), and at home kernel
2.4.19 (sid)
Any suggestions to trace the problem? Maybe I should try a newer kernel.
I've just hadn't had the time during this week I'm afraid. Other ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Victor
