Description Markus S 2011-08-05 11:06:55 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; de; rv:1.9.2.18) Gecko/20110614 Firefox/3.6.18 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

Get a USB flash drive. Format it under Windows with UDF 2.01 (format X: /FS:UDF /Q).
No problems handling it under Windows. Then boot it into openSUSE, perform a few write operations like to copy a file onto the drive, then reboot into Windows, flash drive no longer accessible -- needs reformat. New write operations under openSUSE (eg. renaming) are only sporadically possible.

Reproducible: Always

As a stop-gap solution I'd suggest to disable write support at all. Better than losing data.

With the coming release of openSUSE 12.2, openSUSE kernel developers are focusing their efforts there. Reports against openSUSE 11.4 and prior will not get the attention needed to resolve them before openSUSE 12.2 is release and openSUSE 11.4 becomes unmaintained.

Please re-test with openSUSE 12.1 or openSUSE RC2+ and re-open with an updated Product if you still encounter your issue.

We apologize for this issue not getting the attention it deserves but we are focusing our resources in the area where they will have the most impact for our users.  We're working hard to make openSUSE 12.2 the best openSUSE release yet!
