Hi
I have a double boot Windows/Ubuntu with eMule and aMule running on the two systems.
They share the directories for finished and temporary files. These two directories are located on a NTFS partition with compression activated.
But when I run aMule I get an error who say that it can't write onto the hard drive.
The error message is :
2009-08-16 01:48:03: PartFiles: Error while saving part-file: SafeIO::IOFailure: Error writing to file: Opération non supportée
However, it can perfectly read .part/.part.met in the directory.
Is it a "normal" behaviour ?
Is aMule not compatible with the NTFS compression ? Or maybe simply the writing on NTFS partition ?
Thanks for your time.

aMule has no problem writing on NTFS as long as you can write to it in the OS. Try creating a file in the NTFS partition from ubuntu itself.

Here is the trick.
On Ubuntu 9.04, when you copy a file on a NTFS partition with compression activated, the file is copied/created but not compressed (you can see that by the fact that the filename is black instead of blue when you open the directory on Windows).
So, I was thinking that since some of the file are compressed maybe Ubuntu cannot write inside these these files through its usual uncompressed method.
The solution would be to make a copy and then add the data, but I don't think that aMule use this trick.

I don't think it has anything to do with aMule. If your OS can't write into comrpressed files on NTFS then don't put your temp files there.

Ok. I totally agree with you, it is not the role of aMule to try to cope the implementation of NTFS under Linux.
I'm gonna move to a NTFS not compressed partition.
Anyway, if anyone, ever had this problem, he is welcome to confirm me that this is the solution.
Thanks for the help.
