Lately, when I mount a zip disk on my iomega zip250, I get this in syslog: Mar 21 01:33:15 hobbes kernel: hdb: The disk reports a capacity of 250640384 bytes, but the drive only handles 250609664 Mar 21 01:33:15 hobbes kernel: ide-floppy: hdb: I/O error, pc = 5a, key = 5, asc = 24, ascq = 0 Mar 21 01:33:15 hobbes kernel: VFS: Disk change detected on device ide0(3,64) Mar 21 01:33:15 hobbes kernel: hdb: unknown partition table What does that error mean, and would it have anything to do with data corruption that I am getting on one of my disks? I have tried mounting all of my zip disks after I noticed that error from my backup disk, and I get that error on every mount. I suppose it's _possible_ that the disk is just old and dying, but I've only had it for about three years. The FS errors that I get are: Mar 20 01:37:56 hobbes kernel: EXT2-fs error (device ide0(3,64)): ext2_free_blocks: bit already cleared for block 32771 Any help that could be offered would be much appreciated. I'm running unstable, with kernel 2.4.2-ac20. please cc me in your replies, as I am not actually on this list. thanks, crh - -- Corey R.
