Has anyone had problems using large hard ide hard drives with hamm? I was getting errors (EXT2-fs warning: ext2_free_(blocks|inode): bit already cleared) on a 8G ide drive, followed by an EXT2-fs panic: load_block_bitmap. I then put in a new 6.4G ide disk. The second disk died spectacularly with a series of clunking noises and recal_intr and write_intr messages flying up the screen. And now when I badblock scan either drives, I don't have any problems. I don't know whether to believe that I just had bad luck (twice), or whether the ide controller is flakey, or whether there's a problem in the OS. This is the first time I've run IDE drives >2G: I've never had this kind of trouble with large SCSI disks.
