Easy Way to FS-corruption
Hi I found a way which seems to lead to an "easy" way of fs-corruption: Install two sound-cards, use the newest ALSA-Drivers 0.5.10b (the standard sound drivers don't work to good with sf) and talk with speak-freely (7.2) with full-duplex enabled and playing sound on the first card using xmms. I nearly get a Message to check the fs on the largest partition by hand on every boot. Any hints or ideas (please, it's so annoying of "loosing" files every n-th reboot)? My configuration: MSI K7T Pro (VIA KT133) with AMD TB 700 Sound Card #1: Leadtek WinFast 4Xsound (cmi-chipset) Sound Card #2: Onboard Sound Via Southbridge Graphics: Geforce 256 DDR Kernel: 2.4.2-pre1 (I didn't manage to get 2.4.2-pre[23] properly patched) I didn't touch the ide settings with hdparm but the kernel seems to use DMA by default: /dev/hda: multcount= 0 (off) I/O support = 1 (32-bit) unmaskirq= 1 (on) using_dma= 1 (on) keepsettings = 0 (off) nowerr = 0 (off) readonly = 0 (off) readahead= 8 (on) geometry = 3737/255/63, sectors = 60036480, start = 0 Thanks in advance for any hints!
