This has happened to me. I am using LEAF Bering-uClibC with bgpd for 4 solid-state routers. Unfortunately one of my routers seems to regularly chew up its CF card. I've switched the types of cards around in the system to no effect. My solution so far has been to back up the drive regularly and not reboot, not exactly a nice solution. I have not had the time to look into this matter properly, but a few ideas that have come to mind are: - Measure the voltage being given to the CF/IDE card. - Measure the voltage the CF/IDE card is giving the CF. - Check the cylinder count etc. on your IDE card, if possible. Rumor has it incorrect IDE setup can lead to this problem. - Replace the CF/IDE and CF card. I have used netcat and disk dump to good effect in backing up / restoring my images. Try: (on destination) : nc -l -p <port > | dd of=/dev/hda (on original server) : dd if=/dev/hda | nc <addr of other machine > <port as above > Regards, P ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
