Ok, so I run fsck manually to discover several "DUPS" which later during the fsck results in several random files being blown away. The SCSI card is a 1542CF. DMA transfer rate set to 5.0 M/sec. Has anyone succesfully used a model 2217 with NetBSD? This drive worked fine with Linux (I do not remeber having a single problem during fsck) but seems to fail with NetBSD. Any help would be great! My computer is just about useless until this problem is fixed. I certainly is not interested in doing any development of any sort in fear of losing files which I am working on. It is beginning to look like I will be reinstalling Linux since it seems to have a more stable filesystem. -- Kent Vander Velden graphix@iastate.edu
