Creating Files in External Drive Gives Errors

[Godly-Avenger]

Describe the bug I do a lot of work in an external SSD that I use for school. Recently, when I'm trying to create a file in this external drive, it gives me an error (see screenshots below), but strangely still creates the file. This issue doesn't occur on other flash drives I've tested.

Please confirm that this problem is VSCodium-specific

• [x] This bug doesn't happen if I use Microsoft's Visual Studio Code. It only happens in VSCodium.

Please confirm that the issue/resolution isn't already documented

• [x] I checked the Docs page and the Troubleshooting page and my issue is not mentioned there.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open a folder in VSCodium from the external drive
2. Attempt to add a file by either clicking on the New File button or right-clicking and clicking New File
3. Enter in a file name
4. Click enter

Expected behavior It should create the file without giving any error.

After a quick search, it seems to be an old issue with nodejs and external drive on linux (https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/issues/7152)

Oh that's weird. Suppose I'll live with it. Thanks!

[daiyam]

I agree, it's weird
