MSC (usb mass storage) mode corrupting blackbox logs

[hughsaunders]

Current Behavior

I downloaded blackbox logs via msc and couldn't open them. I then took the sdcard out of the flight controller and inserted it directly into the laptop and copied the same logs. The SHA signatures are different between the two sets of files, also blackbox_decode can read the files from the sd copy but not from the msc copy.

I tried the msc copy multiple times and got the same SHA each time, it wasn't a one off error.

SHAS:

hMBPpersonalWired:black box logs hughsaunders$ shasum */*.TXT
c1606a5549259c6a96a56c6a9ef5520bf389927a  msc copy/LOG00001.TXT

Attempt to decode msc copy files:

hMBPpersonalWired:black box logs hughsaunders$ blackbox_decode msc\ copy/LOG00001.TXT 
Couldn't find the header of a flight log in the file 'msc copy/LOG00001.TXT', is this the right kind of file?

Attempt to decode SD copy files:

hMBPpersonalWired:black box logs hughsaunders$ blackbox_decode sd\ copy/LOG00001.TXT 
Decoding log 'sd copy/LOG00001.TXT' to 'sd copy/LOG00001.01.csv'...

Steps to Reproduce

1. Configure black box logs and go flying
2. Connect FC via usb, open configurator and on CLI tab enter msc
3. FC enters usb mas storage mode
4. Copy BBL files via OS standard method
5. Attempt to decode BBL via blackbox_decode and find them corrupted.

Expected behavior

Copying blackbox logs via MSC works the same as removing the sdcard and copying the files manually.

Suggested solution(s)

Debug msc mode? Or if MSC isn't supported on MacOs, put up a warning?

I notice from this document, that msc copy and sd copy should be equivalent: https://github.com/iNavFlight/inav/blob/master/docs/USB_Mass_Storage_(MSC)_mode.md
