This is only true if usb-storage is used. The stick may work with ub.

Martin, please apply the attached patch and enable CONFIG_BLK_DEV_UB.
If you do not run a userland with udev, do this:

mknod /dev/uba b 180 0
mknod /dev/uba1 b 180 1

Let me know how it went.

Hi Pete,

when using ub with your patch i get a lot further:
the device is detected and uba+uba1 entries appear.
I can mount the device correctly.
Copying the files down and comparing them with the originals gives correct 
results.

but:
when i delete the files which are on the stick and do an umount/mount cycle, 
the files are there again. 
Copying files to the stick gives wrong results too.
Once the created file vanished after the remount,
and once it was there with a different name/size/date and garbage as content.

I didnt try ub without your patch (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_UB was disabled in my kernel 
configuration). Shall I try this too?

greetings
Martin

Curious. First of all, I have a request: do not call this device a "stick".
It is terribly misleading word with which to call a fully-featured MP3
player. DNT uses it in a specific context, as a product name.

I'd like to have a usbmon trace of a session, from plugging, through
copying, through unplugging. Do not send it to the whole cc: list.
Do you need instructions?

Yes, that was perfect, thanks a lot. Unfortunately, I do not see a lot
of interesting things. The last write before the disconnect is a FAT
update:

c31650b8 1617078003 S Bo:006:01 -115 31 = 55534243 c6000000 00020000 00000a2a 00000000 30000001 00000000 000000

Only one cluster was taken, when compared with the FAT that was read.
Everything seems to be in order. But the next trace (after replug -
see the device number changing from 6 to 7) shows FAT with old contents
being read (same block number 0x30):

So, the device replies that writes were successful, but does not
actually commit them to the stable storage.

I suspect that this device may require some delays. I seem to recall
that we added delayes to usb-storage when we worked with Genesys
Logic. But ub contains no delays.

How about this:

It sounds as though the device isn't actually carrying out the write 
operations.  Is it write-protected?
