<p>Hi all -</p>
<p>I have a strange problem. I'm have 3 different disk on my windows
based system on Mac hardware<br>
</p>
<ol>
<li>My system drive. Formatted to NTFS.</li>
<li>A flash-drive. Formatted to FAT32.</li>
<li>A data drive. Formatted to exFAT. The last is my primary data
drive and is shared between my Windows partition and my Mac
partition on my MacBook Pro. Hence the use of exFAT.<br>
</li>
</ol>
<p>I have a QGIS plugin, which copies a template of a GeoPackage
file to "where-ever the user wants it placed" and afterward make
some content changes in the copy using the PyQT QSQL module with
the QSPATIALITE driver<br>
</p>
<p>This work if the Geopackage file is copied to either disk no 1
(NTFS) or disk no 2 (FAT32). However, it doesn't work if the file
is copied to disk no 3 (exFAT). The process leaves the WAL files
even after the database is closed properly. <br>
</p>
<p>And even more strange: If I reformat the flash-drive to exFAT and
repeat the experiment using the reformatted drive it too works
without a hitch.</p>
<p>The normal "divide et impera" method tells me that my exFat data
disk is bork'ed. However this error <b>only</b> occurs with the
QGIS/GeoPackage creation/modification scenario. Everything else is
working OK.<br>
</p>
<p>The disk is not shared on the network. Has anyone experienced the
same type of problems ? And have a solution ?? Just asking before
I begin to clean up / reformat my 100 GB data disk <br>
</p>
<p>System setup: MacBook Pro 2014 / Windows 8.1 OS /QGIS 3.10.5 (the
same problem occurs with 3.10.0 , 3.10.2 ...3.12.2) <br>
</p>
