weird problem with files on my ssds #221

Open Elo-Sun opened 2 years ago

Elo-Sun commented 2 years ago

Hi,

I'm using your build with nearly the same hardware since about 2 years. Everything works fine, but there is a weird issue that happens from time to time:

I use my PC as dual boot (Windows/Mac) and I share two internal 2GB ssds (exFAT) between both systems to share files between both systems. When I drag some files on the ssds like audio files, simple folders or videos when using the mac and then boot into windows, sometimes these files do not appear on the ssds. When i boot back to mac again they are where they should be. This occures irregularly. I did not realize this problem until some weeks ago, where I destroyed many of my files by changing the folders on the ssds in Windows that was not in sync with the appearance of the folders in mac at this moment, and many files got corrupted ending up with a size of 0kb or just the half size and things like this. Till now, it never happened when I dragged files from Windows on these ssds and then boot into Mac, only the other way round.

it happens on both ssds, i checked them with crystalDisk and Samsung Magician and no problems where found. Can you help me out on this one? I have not a single clue why this happens.

I am using:

Big Sure and Windows 10 Pro (21H2) intel-i9-10900k Gigabyte Z490 Vision D AMD RX 6800 64GB RAM

Thank you for sharing all your work with us, I really appreciate it! EloSun

I'm not sure what is causing your real issue, but I would suggest you move away from exFAT for anything important. It's better to use a journaled filesystem with better guarantees. I personally use NTFS with paragon driver for dual boot scenario

Exactly ... exFAT is a bad filesystem. Everyone brags about how good it is and that it is the only viable option for Dual-Boot scenarios but this is only true IN THEORY. I know 2 people who lost important files due to the instability of exFAT ! The BEST solution by far is to buy the suite of paragon. When using macos, buy Paragon NTFS for Mac to read and write into windows drives. If you triple boot with Linux, use Paragon extFS to read and write from macos to Linux Drives. When using Windows, use Paragon APFS to read and write into macOS Drives. I dont remember the exact name but there is an app by Paragon which will allow you to read and write from Windows into Linux drives.

This is the most stable solution, although not free.

I tried it with both, exFAT and NTFS using Paragon. in Both scenarios files I write to the drive with mac, they wont appear booting into windows. It might be some caching issue? Where the files do not get written properly?

So it is solved after very long time. I updated opencore and my EFI and that solved the problem..
