Sys-usb, makes 3 Problems: splicing / mouse or ssd / crashes backup

Today i found out that my sys-usb makes some trouble, first i want to make a backup which was just stopping at 76% and doing nothing anymore. No freeze, mouse alive but backup-qube 0% RAM. Disconnecting the mouse solved this problem and backup was done.

Than i wanted to add a ssd to the backup-qube but my touchpad drives me crazy so i plugged in the mouse again and i had troube connecting the ssd and i cannot open it altough it was connected. So bye mouse and everything is fine.

Than i tried as it always worked to copy my backup to the same ssd and i get after 4.3 GB the error: Error Splicing File Input/Output Error.

So this is new. And on my last post about 2 Months ago everything worked. Any idea?

Today I thought again what is different and I saw that dvm is running a newer version of fedora could this be the problem and are there any security issues about updating dvm to a newer os version

Hmmm.

Is your backup disk formatted with a FAT32 filesystem?
There is a limit to the size of files, of 2^32 bytes, which is 4300 million bytes = 4.3 GB in decimal. It might explain the splice error.

It does not explain the mouse/disk interaction. Is it possible there is not enough power to the USB port?

yes i see formatted the flash drive to ntfs and worked but i don’t know whats wrong with my backup disk. Although changing the qubes to debian 13 makes it, let me say more stable so it worked with connected mouse.
