WBFS Filer to WBFS disk fails

[pasnox]

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. try to add a wbfs file to disk. it fails at 95%
2. or
3. convert wbfs file to iso and add iso: fails at 95%

Tested on 2 wbfs files. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Expected: disk imported
Result: failure at import (near 95%) then the content of the wbfsdisk is empty (and qwbfsmanagers says: 0 files on disk and 1 disk to import).
changiung wbfs partition and reselecting it will display the tiltes again.
wbfs disk seems undamaged (can add normal iso after failed wbfs indirect import operation). What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? qwbfsmanager V1.2.1 from download section (displays V1.2.0 svnexported)
OS: Mandriva cooker (20 Aug 2011 - pre 2012.0)

Tested wiiBackupFusion 1.1 i386 on the same platform, same files, and it works.

Hm strange :/

It's possible the libwbfs used is too old :/

I may try to find update of this crappy lib :)

Does all of your files are failing ?
Which software formatted your drive ?

Thank you.

All my .wbfs files fail at 95%
My disk was formatted using wbfs command line a long time ago.
I used a separate qt extentiongui lib as I was unable to build qwbfsmanager with the provided lib.
I'm using latest qt with latest gcc in x86_64 mode
Successful tests using wiibackupfusion were made using the i386 downloaded binary
The qwbfsmanager-1.1 x86_64 I've built works perfectly with iso transfert to my wbfs disk.

Please answer these questions:

qwbfsmanager 1.1
iso -> wbfs partition is working fine ?
wbfs partition -> wbfs parttion is working fine ?

qwbfsmanager 1.2
iso file -> wbfs partition is working fine ?
wbfs partition -> wbfs partition is working fine ?
wbfs file -> wbfs partition is working fine ?

Thanks

Iso to wbfs works fine in both versions
Wbfs disk to wbfs disk works fine in both versions
Wbfs file to wbfs disk fails in V1.2.1 x86_64

All my WBFS files fail to import in the same way. I can't convert them to iso, as then the isos fail as well. I can't do any wbfs work in linux. I have to switch into windows and use WBFS manager to get WBFS files onto my drive. It's the only thing that I discovered that works.

ISOs have no problems though. Just anything having to do with wbfs. after a fail I have to keep repairing my drive with WWT from WIMMS ISO TOOLS. As everytime you try to import it, and fails, it leaves empty blocks assigned. i don't want to corrupt my disk.

Sorry, I meant to say WBFS BACKUP MANAGER in my first comment. That was wwhat worked for me to transfer WBFS files to the disk. I did not try WBFS MANAGER, so I guess it could work for this purpose as well; but I don't think is support wbfs file to disk.

It should be interesting to know which software formatted your hard drive ?
It could be nice to test using a usb key formated with QWBFS Manager and see if the problem still appear?
Once you will say me which software formatted the partition i will try to format a partitin using it and do some testing.

Thanks for the feedback !

Yeah know bug, anyway there is no real differences between them. it was just a project file fix for mac os x.

QWBFS has option to convert wbfs files to iso.
Could u try it and then try to import the iso ?
Does it's better ?

By the way as stated in the readme file, QWBFS Manager use some temporary files, the size depend of the file it read, so assume 5GB left on the drive where is located the system temp folder.

No same problem when you try to import the ISO.

Basically anything that comes from wbfs won't work. Even if you convert it to an iso, unless you convert it to an ISO in windows with WBFS backup manager. That did not give me an error. So basically you can't do anything in linux with wbfs until the libs get updated.

Is there any progress with this issue? It's affecting me in the exact same way as described here. strangely I can't find any mention of 'libwbfs' in the Arch repos. Surely the program can't possibly function without it?

[pasnox]

Unfortunatly no :/
Did not yet had time to rewrite the wbfs handling using third party library.
Works has been started in some branch but i have not time for it right now, and don't expect it to happen quickly :/

anybody wanting to do it, just email me i can give instructions.
