Hello everyone, I agree with chokuchou . I discovered this problem just today after having installed Ubuntu Edgy Eft 6.10 a few weeks ago. My kernel version is 2.6.17-11-generic I tried transferring about 1 GB of files to my external USB hard drive and I get the same I/O error as the others. My hardware is just fine as is the integrity of the files themselves. The proposed solution was to install a 2.4.x kernel which I find quite silly since a 2.6.x kernel should be far better than an earlier kernel. Are the people at Ubuntu doing something about this as it's now the 11th of February 2007? In the meantime I'll just have to use Windows XP to perform this trivial operation. Any help is appreciated.
