PB79: Deletion of files fails due to insufficient space

Post by crenz »

Hi, I'm using PB79 on a Win7 x64 system. I'm encountering a strange issue: When trying to delete a file using [F8] or [Del], I first get the standard Explorer prompt "Are you sure you want to move ... to the recycle bin?'. Upon acknowledging it, deletion fails, with the following message:

The file '...' is too large for the destination file system.

If I delete the file using [Shift+Del], it immediately gets deleted. Deleting files (and moving to the trash) works fine in Explorer, it is just an issue in Altap Salamander.

Hello, could you please test Altap Salamander 2.54 with the same procedure?

I tested it with 2.54, and the error does not appear.

I would like to please you for one more test, try the same Delete operation with PB79 x86 version. It should be the same as Salamander 2.54. It seems as problem only with x64 version, please confirm it.

Petr, I tried the 32 bit version of PB79. Deletion works fine, just like with 2.54. So it seems to be a 64 bit issue.

I have Win7 x64 at home and Salamander x64 seems to work well here. I can send files to Recycle Bin and then Restore them to original position.

Do you have some idea what is special in your case? E.g., Do you have full Recycle Bin? Or do you delete big files? (What is the file size of deleted file?)

Does anyone has the same problem with Recycle Bin and x64 Salamander?

No problems here with PB79 on Windows 7 x64.

I routinely delete Windows ISOs that exceed 4 GB.

No idea what is special here. The size of the file does not matter - any file deletion fails (e.g. files at only a few hundred bytes also). Trash is definitely not full. I am using Truecrypt, but even on the non-Truecrypt system volume, it reacts the same way.

Could you provide a Process Monitor dump of the failed deletion?

Hi ether, I created a Process Monitor dump using the newest public beta. Interestingly enough, it seems a buffer overflow occurs during QuerySecurityFile (on the recycle bin folder).

From my experience, BUFFER OVERFLOWs happen all the time with no negative effect (IMHO this is a just a return code and not an actual buffer overflow error and I guess the routine just retries the same operation with a larger buffer). I was going to say the INVALID DEVICE REQUESTs are a lot more interesting, but apparently they happen with my AS v2.54, too.

So the only clue is that Salamander marks the file for deletion (SetDispositionInformationFile - Delete: True) and immediately reverts the decision (SetDispositionInformationFile - Delete: False). I would like the developers to take a look at the relevant stack traces.

Also, to be on the safe side, could you try deleting again after disabling as many third-party overlays, or even whole shell extensions - using ShellExView (download the version with the correct bitness and verify that you're, in fact, looking at the 64-bit extension; I remember there being a catch) as possible?

Hi Ether, I tried to disable as many Shell extensions as possible, using ShellExView, but am still encountering the same problem.
