OpenComputers bug makes it unusable

[kevinkk525]

OpenComputers has a serious bug:

After installing OpenOS onto a HDD it initially works when rebooted and if the OpenOS Disk is installed but fails with "Unrecoverable Error computer halted" if rebooted, HDD removed and inserted, HDD inserted into a robot and similar. It makes using OC almost impossible as every reboot could lead to an unusable PC.

This seems to be a bug that has been fixed: https://oc.cil.li/index.php?/topic/1808-computer-halted-error/

It doesn't seem to be a file system permissions problem as it happens in Singleplayer too.

 

Now I do know that the Modpack has to be updated to update OpenComputers, which probably means we have no way of using OC on the server?

I can confirm that it is fixed with the latest update.

 

Until the modpack gets updated, there is a workaround, that I confirmed working in Singleplayer:

Change in opencomputers settings.conf the filesystem config "bufferChanges=true" to false. This feature is bugged in our version and disabling the bufferChanges will prevent the mod from writing zero byte (empty) files. Please implement this workaround so we can reliably use OC computers.

 

This also applies to the other modpacks that have opencomputers (I think it was only one).

Moved to server problems..

Will have to wait for a manager's input on the matter.

This is fixed in 2.5.0 and can be closed/removed

Nice, glad it was fixed!
