My light flashes about every 10 seconds - but I've also disabled FAM as a service, and tweaked my EIDE drives with hdparm - but it's a quick blink and nothing major - nothing ever skips a beat - even when doing something disk intensive. Both EIDE's are ReiserFS, both SCSI's are ReiserFS. And actually, as I'm watching it here, mine is apparently blinking about every 12 seconds... -- Mon Jun 16 07:55:00 EST 2003 07:55:00 up 2 days, 15:09, 3 users, load average: 0.01, 0.05, 0.06 ----------------------------------------------------------------- | __ __ |kuhn media australia | | /-oo /| |'-. |http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' |stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ----------------------------------------------------------------- linux user #:267497 linux machine #:194239 * MDK 9.1 & RH 7.3 Mandrake Linux Kernel 2.4.21-11mdk Cooker for i586 ----------------------------------------------------------------- * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * If it wasn't for Newton, we wouldn't have to eat bruised apples.
