So, anyone hear about the Windows update that is causing BSOD with large read/write operations? It apparently only happens with certain drive controllers (Phison at least).
(YouTube guy talking about and demonstrating it)
I was wondering if it may be a similar problem to a long-standing Linux problem with copying/pasting large/many files.
(Old forum post that loosely sounded like it)
This isn't a help topic though.
If someone is currently having that problem: the generally agreed upon "solution" I've heard in the past has been to use rsync (rather than a direct copy/paste) to get around the seemingly unfixable problem.
Yes, I have seen posts like: System freezes/unresponsive/unusable when copying large file to USB - Ask Ubuntu
That's not the point (that doesn't work for everyone).
The point of the topic is to ponder whether it may be a similar/same underlying SSD controller (driver?) issue that Windows ran into with the last update.
Neither Microsoft nor Phison have solved it yet, and so far are trying to pretend it doesn't exist by saying they can't reproduce it, but the video I linked clearly demonstrates it and resolves it by switching off of Phison.
Users on windows can't roll back the service part of the update, just the security part.
So, hopefully they figure it out and the solution can be applied to Linux too, if it is the same underlying issue.
Any thoughts on whether it might be the same issue?
Points to consider: fixing it for Windows requires a full power cycle. Does it for Linux's large copy/paste?
I don't own any towers, or I would totally test that.
