Created attachment 314878 [details] lshal output from machine Description of problem: Every night, after the backup is made on a USB Flash drive, the system drops the backup device. /dev/sdb1 disappears, lsusb no longer reports the device and neither does lshal. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Happens every night. Do not know what causes it. Additional info:
Created attachment 314888 [details] This is the script that is run before the flash drive is dropped It seems to drop the usb flash drive after running the backup script (attached). The drive does seem to contain all of the data, though, so the sync must have worked.
Created attachment 314922 [details] lshal with flash drive mounted This is the lshal output with the solid state drive mounted. The mount table is as follows: [mikey@crypto ~]$ mount /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 on / type ext3 (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol02 on /home type ext3 (rw) /dev/sda2 on /boot type ext3 (rw) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw) sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw) /dev/sdb1 on /mnt/ssd1 type vfat (rw) [mikey@crypto ~]$
Uhm, what makes you think this is a bug with hal? If lsusb reports that the device is no longer there, it's either a hardware defect or a kernel bug.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
