Yes !!! This is it. pread() and pwrite() is broken in uClibc 0.9.27. Without it transmission works perfect.

That link's from 2003 though. Are you sure this is still a uClibc issue?

Also, I see 0.9.31 has been available since April. Does upgrading uClibc solve the issue?

This bug is present in 0.9.27 version. And 0.9.27 is very old version (released in Jan-2005). Upgrading is not possible, because root fs hardcoded in AzBox?'s ROM as CRAMFS. Reflashing of ROM is not a trivial operation. But, IMHO, adding checks for MIPS and uCLibc in configure to not use pread()/pwrite() if fully solves this issue.

  • Resolution set to fixed
  • Status changed from assigned to closed

fixed in trunk by r11530.

It would be nice to do this conditionally based on the uClibc version number, rather than unconditionally like this, but I didn't see the fix mentioned anywhere, so I don't know what version to test for. :(

r11531: refinement of r11530 based on research by iz0bbz to find which version of uClibc added a fix.
