I might've encountered another bug

[Oweblow]

I'm incredibly sorry to bug y'all again, but I managed to find another serious bug with this driver.

I followed what you previously said, and I created 2 .cmd files (both stop the Ext2Srv service, and either restart or shut down the PC, depending on which one you run).

For some reason, occasionally, Windows still refuses to shut down.

And, I left my PC to shut down yesterday (instead of forcefully shutting it down by holding the power button) and it gave me a BSoD, giving the error code: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE.

If I recall correctly, this error occurs because one of the drivers on your computer have entered into a non-existent/impossible power state.

Anyway, I'm a little stuck on where to go from here.

[Oweblow]

I don't think it's an issue with anything to do with my graphics card (I reinstalled the driver) or my Oculus Rift S (I've fairly recently reinstalled its driver) so yeah. 🤷

Please help, I beg. 🙏

Oh my god, this driver's a bit fucked up.
I turned on my PC, booted into Windows and its like yesterday didn't even happen.
Any change I made to my Linux drive yesterday isn't there.

Thats because you had a crash so the contents of the memory was not flushed to disk. However I will investigate the memory dump you sent me. Bo Branten

[Oweblow]

Oh yeah, you can see it, can't you?
It's cuz I enabled something in Winaero tweaker to "show BSoD details".

[Oweblow]

Anyway, that explains a lot.
Thanks.

Nothing like this has happened since then.

[Oweblow]

News flash
It happened again.

[Oweblow]

This shit is actually crippling.
I really need to find another way of accessing my /home partition.

[Oweblow]

Why can't your driver just write to the partition without having to go through the memory first?

[Oweblow]

Or at least have the option to?

[bobranten]

Can you post another memory dump? Bo Branten

I'm having the same issue too! I've installed forza horizon 4 on my hard drive, then when I restarted my system, it magically disappeared! Is there a way I could assist with such an issue?

[optimiseddesign]

Same issue too! Still happens even after uninstalling, worryingly... what have you done to my PC! Urghh luckily I'm trying to replace this PC quite soon as it's pretty crippling.

[DankCoffee]

How?? I don't remember it messing up filesystems other than ext.
