Description Emil 2011-10-16 08:38:10 UTC

Version:           2.3.0 (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

I have a dual-boot system, and I wanted to back up my Windows(NTFS) partition using Ubuntu. So I copied the whole partition to my external HDD. After krusader finished it I did a test by the sysnchronize module. And I found that some files were left out. (A few hundred little files, in one or two directories, but not all files from that dirs.) The files were ok, the synchronization module could copy all of them. And similar thing happened again, when I copied old backups from one external HDD to another.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
Try to copy about 40000 files from one partition to another.

Actual Results:  
Some files were left out.

Expected Results:  
All files copied.

I copied the files between NTFS partitions.
I use Ubuntu(Gnome version) 11.10.
External HDD was connected by USB.

Today the same happened with another computer and external HDD.
Now more came out. When I tried to copy a folder (~600 Mb) krusader first
counted the files and data amount to copy, then started. 
But it showed only around 200 Mb data to be copied. 
And when finished the folder on the target place was really ~200 Mb.
So 2/3 of the data was not copied.
(As in the previous cases, no partial files created, 
a file was copied correctly or was fully skipped.)

In this case I used kubuntu (Oneiric) having Xubuntu-desktop installed/logged into.
And Krusader Version 2.4.0-beta1 with KDE 4.7.1.

Comment 2 Emil 2011-10-17 16:59:14 UTC

Sorry of my English, some sentences are not so clear, like this line:
 But it showed only around 200 Mb data to be copied. 
 may should have been written like ... to be coping.

So I mean the copy window said: 7 Mb of 230 Mb complete
instead of: 7 Mb of 660 Mb complete.

Comment 3 Jan Lepper 2011-12-19 08:27:20 UTC

Changing this to a KIO bug, as Krusader uses KIO for copy opearations.

Comment 4 Nikita Skovoroda 2012-01-19 17:29:45 UTC

Can this be fixed with:

1) A «busy» indicator near the flash drives in dolphin places / devices plasmoid?
2) Another, «syncing» progress bar when you press unmount?

Currently unmount does not give the right/any/understandable feedback while waiting for sync being completed.

The question is: is it possible to get the progress of the sync operation? Is it possible to tell if it is being done at the current moment («busy» indicator)?

Sorry, i posted that comment to a wrong bug.
