Dyer Computer Consulting, Cambridge MA Date: Mon, 10 Mar 1997 17:40:38 GMT Lines: 15 Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.bsdi.misc:6274 BSDI 2.1, one disk with IBM 3.1gb disk for root, var, usr. IBM is installed as IDE master (wd0) on first IDE, CDROM has been slave on both first and second IDE (no difference). Maxtor 5.1gb disk is IDE master (wd2) on second IDE port. Maxtor installs fine with disksetup. Several minutes after initiating a copy of /usr/var to a mounted partition on /dev/wd2h, the wd2h FS gets corrupted and the system crashes. No obvious problems with partition overlap. Anyone else have problems with this new Maxtor drive? -- Steve Dyer dyer@ursa-major.spdcc.com
