Summary: Photoshop CS2 can't use multiple scratch disks Product: Wine Version: CVS/GIT Platform: PC-x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-files AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: michal@lightcomp.cz
Photoshop tries to use more space on scratch disk than it is available. I have 8GB of memory but PS can use only 1.8GB. So I set limit of tmpfs mounted as /dev/shm to 6GB. PS uses this location as first scratch disk. Second is regular drive. Normally PS should use second scratch disk when first is full. But it allocates empty file that is bigger than 6GB and tries to use it. When file is written up to 6GB limit, Photoshop displays error message:
Disk error -34 occurred while reading or writting to a scratch disk. Sorry, but this error is unrecoverable.
I tried it also with other filesystem than tmpfs. Behavior is the same.
