[Bug 805639] [NEW] Can't write to usb pendrive created by usb-creator

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a live usb with ubuntu on a pendrive with usb-creator
2. Restart the system (maybe this step is required)
3. Insert the pendrive
4. Open it in Nautilus and try to create a new file on it (or copy/or write to it somehow)

Actual output:
The file seems to be created, but when unmounting a disk strange errors start to appear, and no file is created. A pendrive returns input/output errors etc.

This is a regression as i remember writing in ubuntu on such disks,
although I tested it wit 2.6.32-22 and behavior is the same (maybe it
isn't the kernel that is a root-cause?).

I think usb-creator is important because I have 4 pendrives: 2 of them
has live cd content and neither works, and one of those that works OK is
almost identical to one of broken ones.

Please take a look at my attachment: there are a logs when I do steps to
reproduce problem on 'working' pendrive (at first), and on 'broken' one.

This is serious as those pendrives are effectively read-only - you can't
even format them.

And on 11.04 is also affected.
