Today my IBM 75GXP decided I couldn't see a 2 week uptime, it decided to mark some blocks bad, etc and trash half my data. I ran IBM's DFT utility, zero'ed it out and am trying it a day or two to see if it develops problems again. This is the 2nd drive, the first died within 6 months beyond DFT repair. Anyone have any ideas to what would do this? I reboot only when I change kernels, last was about 10 days or so, I have a UPS, antec 300w power supply powering just 2 hd's, 1 cdr, abit be6-2, celeron, 512 megs ram, video+net, so that's not the issue. When the first IBM died, it was on the bx's ata33, I put the replacement on the highpoint 366 with a brand new dma66 cable (as well as the WD 30 gig I've had for a year or two without problems). Any other ideas to why a drive would start developing problems in a very well cooled ups protected running system?
Anyway, I just lost most of my home directory and am pretty pissed. Has anyone used a 3ware escalade 6200 or 6400 with 2.4.x? I found a 6200 for $129 and 6400 for $179 at hypermicro and want to set up raid 1 mirroring or raid 5 with a 3rd drive. _______________________________________________ Siglinux mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.utacm.org/mailman/listinfo/siglinux
