Broken files: "Unknown errno: Invalid cross-device link"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Record tracks on Ubuntu Edgy using the 1.0.2-1 deb.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Someway through recording almost any song, this output occurs in the terminal:
** Message: Unknown errno: Invalid cross-device link

Simultaneously the part of the song so far recorded is saved in the music
directory, while the download progress bar for the song "resets" to zero
yet continues to record the song from the point the error message occurred.
When it finishes it overwrites the saved, first part of the song with the
second part of the song.

This happens with about 80% of tracks saved with thelastripper, so only 20%
are usable (the rest being only the last part of each song).

Also I should note that I have no sound when recording, but I assume this
is intentional?

Please let me know of any debug commands I should try for diagnosis.

cheers, Justyn.

I have actually seen that error message before, while developing the 
application. But
when it stopped comming I assumed it wasn't there anymore.

I've found this similar bug report: 
http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=79853
But I think it might be a bug i thelastripper...

There's no debug commands, bug you can install monodevelop and checkout a copy 
from
SVN. That would probably be the best way, if you have any experience with 
Mono/.Net

By the way, do you run a multi/dual core CPU? perhaps an SMP kernel or 
something else
that might give multithreading issues???
I know that release 1.0.0 had troubles with dualcore CPUs, especially on 
windows. I
guess I not that good at multithreading :)

Not a dual core CPU, no. Just the vanilla Edgy kernel (I am running 
2.6.17-11-generic
right now).

Interesting to see that Mono bug, however the report isn't very informative!

Sorry, I'm an electronic engineering student and clueless about Mono/.NET/C#. 
Just
give me some C :-)
I'd be up for fiddling with the code in Mono to track the bug, but I'm supposed 
to be
working hard on a project. Oops. Perhaps in July if it is not fixed.

Now I'm going to go and lock myself in a cupboard with my work.

cheers, Justyn.

A new version of TheLastRipper has been release, we've cleaned up the code, and
rewritten the streaming engine, this issue should be fixed :)
