imgburn hangs on buffer recovery for a file named aux.c

[daryl178]

On Windows 7 x64, if a file named "aux.c" is in the file structure being burned, then imgburn hangs on "Waiting for buffers to recover". After canceling, imgburn waits for Reader thread indefinitely. It has to be manually terminated via process explorer. The image was created via the EZ picker of "Files/Folders".

Make an ISO rather than burning to disc. What happens then? If it can't read the file, the OS should report an error back to the program, which in turn will report it to you.

I tried the ISO method with the same results of imgburn hanging ("Writing Image...") and a forced termination. Since "AUX" is a reserved device, I believe that somehow the "aux" of "aux.c" is getting intercepted and it is not an access issue.

It might be worth running process monitor (sysinternals/ Microsoft) and examining the ImgBurn process to see what's going on when it gets stuck.

Are you happy to do that?

Sure, that will not be a problem. Anything in particular to look at?

Just the last file I/O instruction ImgBurn issues really... I'd assume nothing much will be logged once it gets stuck.

Ok, I have attached a small compressed tar file containing 10 files from a RedHat distribution that would allow you to reproduce the issue. I tried attaching my version of the Process Monitor PML file for ImgBurn for my example file; but never could get it to accept. I don't believe that file will be needed.

 

Please use cygwin-based shell to expand the tar file. Then, simply drag the i2c folder to ImgBurn.
