Thunar silently corrupts files when copying using GUI to external media.
Thunar silently corrupts files when copying using GUI to external media.
I tested two different drives. It's not the drives. Other programs that are not Thunar copy OK. For instance; spacefm and cp I am using the ext4 filesystem on both internal and external drives. This effects external drives only.
To reproduce:
- dd if=/dev/urandom of=afile bs=1M count=6000
- Open Thunar and copy the file to external media using GUI
- cmp afile /media/user/someexternal/afile
- echo $? #if the result is non-zero, like in this bug, that means CORRUPTION.
It is very severe, lots of people's files are getting destroyed.
