Hi Zenju -

I am having problems with the hang destroying my USB drive MFT. I do not think
it has anything to do with FFS, but is keeping me from doing anything to
recreate right now.

Ok, I think he is complaining about includes.
I see a stringConv.h but no string.h ?

Hi Zenju -

Wonder if you have come across this ?
Following Compile.txt, make wxWidgets seems to all run ok, so switch back to
FFS directory and do a make (from root).

root@mepis1:/home/n4af/ffs# make
if ; then mkdir OBJ; fi
g++ -o OBJ/removeBOM tools/removeBOM.cpp
./OBJ ...

Something is pretty flakey. My problem seems to be with items in /lib/udev-
like Iphone-set-info and Console.
I took /lib/udev out of the mix (exclude) and the sync ran (literally) to
99.99% w/ 5sec to go. The file it failed on was legit. I even cp it over to
make sure. So still scratching my head ...

Hi Zenju -

CORRECTION . The problem is not as global as Ext4;
I just backed up my home directory on Ubuntu 10.04 w/ no problems (Ext4).

Normally, the procedure here is to back up the entire partition that is not
booted, but just mounted r/o.
Most of my testing has been against another ext4 ...

Correct. I have done this same backup with Clonezilla, FSarchiver, Lucky
Backup, and Rdiff-Backup.

Using FreeFileSync, the sync works ok --USING EXT3.on Mepis 8.5 partition.
Consistently fails trying to sync ext4 partion-- Ubuntu Lucid or Linux Mint 9.

Was not totally sure where to put the trace points, but here is the source:

void FreeFileSync::copyFile(const Zstring& sourceFile,
const Zstring& targetFile,
bool copyFileSymLinks,
CopyFileCallback* callback)
{
using FreeFileSync::CopyFileCallback;
std::cout << __FILE__ << " -> " << __LINE ...

Clean compile. Will test shortly.

Tks, Howard

Sorry, I am probably doing this wrong:


std::cout << __FILE__ << " -> " << __LINE__ << std::endl;
produces
shared/fileHandling.cpp:1474: error: ���cout��� is not a member of ���std���
shared/fileHandling.cpp:1480: error: ���cout��� is not a member of ���std���
shared/fileHandling.cpp:1492 ...

Thank you for the quck response Zenju.

I have recompiled, removing type=record,noseek, so the line reads
::fopen(filename.c_str(), "rb"; ----------------- by commenting out the type
ending.
Because I left the semicolon off, the first compile failed- so I know it is
reading fileIO.cpp

The ...

Not sure how to close this--
I moved this problem over to HELP, as it seems a more appropriate location...
