Deadlock when copying to a FAT32 volume

Open nrdxp opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

My wife asked me to transfer her photos from the backup location on my server to her usb thumb drive. In order than she can mount this drive on Windows I have it formatted as FAT32. I thought I'd give fcp a go to speed up the transfer since it usually takes a very long time with rsync or cp. While the transfer did begin at an amazing speed, it eventually deadlocks waiting for a FUTEX that apparently never gets released. I was able to determine this by stracing the process.

I attempted this several times to see if it was a fluke and it deadlocked every time after transfering about 8-10G of data
