I've had similar corruption on my machine.. At the time of the corruption, I was running on a Connor 1 gig drive as well. After switching to a 1 gig Seagate hawk, I have not seen any corruption (granted, it's only been 4 days). I'm using a VLB Buslogic Bt44xC. The only other device on the SCSI chain is a WangDAT 1300 SCSI-1 tape drive. If you can, try taking out the Connor and running a week or so on a different drive. -kevin- kbrint@winternet.com http://www.winternet.com/~kbrint/ winternet staff - email for info
