As I've posted twice by now, I had problems with a P6-180 running
2.1.7.(1) (and than 2.1-stable)
with 2940 and two SCSI harddrives - one internal,
and one external (in a MEGADRIVE tower).
First time it happened with the internal one, just a few days ago
it happenned with the external one.
Lots of inodes were just messed up. (See the message under another thread -
with the word "AHC" in the subject - just 2-3 days ago)

Some of the files became special devices type entries,
Some directories became files or nobody knows what...

This leads me to the conclusion that I probably need to
switch to the 2.2.2 version...
