[Bug 10461] New: Photoshop CS2 can't use multiple scratch disks

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10461

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: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

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.

Is this still an issue in 1.0-rc3? It may be looking at the empty space of the
root partition rather than the partition you want to use. Is that partition
mounted as its own drive in wine?

Yes, I've just tested it with latest CVS build and it is still an issue. I have
/dev/shm mapped to drive D.

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.9 or newer) wine?

Now it is even worse. I can't select drive that is a link to the /dev/shm as
scratch disk.

Is the drive letter no longer there? You may need to manually create it in
winecfg.

The drive is there. It is visible f.e. in open dialog, but the icon is
different. I guess that it is detected as network drive. But in winecfg it is
set as local hard disk.

Removing deprecated CVS/GIT version tag. Please retest in current git. If the
bug is still present in today's wine, but was not present in some earlier
version of wine, please update version field to earliest known version of wine
that had the bug. Thanks!

The inability to use a drive-mapped tmpfs as a scratch disk in Photoshop CS is
still present in Wine 1.1.44.

Is there a workaround or way to force the drive to be seen in the scratch disks
list?  It *is* present in the other file dialogs (open, save, etc).  Using
tmpfs as scratch would really speed up PS with large files.

This is also true in 1.2 and 1.3, even if explicitly setting Type == "local
hard disk" in winecfg >> Drives >> show advanced.  The drive letter still shows
up in "My Computer" with an icon that looks sort of like a PCI card.

No download, no update from OP for two years. Is this still an issue in 1.5.4
or should this be closed as abandoned ?

Could you try again in Wine 1.6-rc5 or later?
