dfu_upload error -84 when trying to backup images

[shawnzier]

I'm getting the following error when trying to backup rootfs:

dfu_upload error -84

I've been able to back up the other partitions, but the rootfs fails
every time at 258076672 Bytes. I think this is the size of the rootfs,
but how can I be sure?

I don't want to flash it with this image if there is missing data. I
also don't want to try to flash it with 2008.8 if I'm not sure that it
will complete. If it doesn't complete, will I be left with a brick until
I can get it to complete successfully, or does it not write until the
whole image is transferred?

The host is a Macbook Pro CoreDuo (not C2D) running Gentoo.

Has anybody had a similar experience?

I dont think this is related to the architecture. I had faced similar
issue on core duo (i had put a comment on the wiki for the same). Btw,
i didnt have to flash the back up image so i dont know if it actually
worked out correctly.

I just have the same problem. But I wasn't in time to report it to an
existing ticket about dfu_util problems.

I guess there are same problems with dfu.

I tried this once and got the same error.

Then I ran grep on the image file it produced with words that I knew
were present in the filesystem like "headphone" "mono" and "state".  I
couldn't find any words in the image, so I don't think the files it
produces contain real data.  It could be that it's doing something very
strange, like flipping bits or re-encoding blocks in the dump file.
Since upload is known to be broken, I didn't look into it any further:

Try mounting the jffs2 file as mentioned in the wiki. Check the
mounted file-system.

So does flashing new images work? Is it just uploading that's broken?
