Error 6 writing to USB-stick on cRIO-9068

[A.E.M]

Hi again Brad.

Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately, the sync command doesn't change anything. I still get error code 6.

As I see it, we have confirmed that the error is due to the power loss. The reason is, that FAT32 does not supports journaling. So we have a couple of options:

1) Use a journaling file format like EXT3 (or NTFS if that was an option).

2) Monitor which power source is active (officially supported with NI-RIO 14 release) and safely power down the system.

3) If error code 6 happens, then reboot the system (and do a fdisk, which seems to improve the failure rate).

Personally, I like option 2 the most, because we can stick with a file format that Windows and read. Do you have any final recommendations?

I wholeheartedly agree that detecting the circumstances that lead up to the failure and taking action to avoid it is ideal (well, at least for the current situation).
