SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario:
  • You have a Windows Embedded Compact 7-based device that uses the NAND flash partition driver.
  • A new NAND flash partition is created at run time. At the same time, another thread performs a file IO operation on an existing NAND flash partition.
In this scenario, a "Data Abort" exception occurs in the NAND flash partition driver.
Back to the top

CAUSE

This issue occurs because of a race condition between two threads that concurrently access and modify the partition information that is maintained within the partition driver.
