I think this might be a Linux bug, i.e., not specific to Ubuntu. As this is a UNIX-style application, no userland application should contain code that can produce the corruption you describe.
This said, the component most likely being responsible is the libscsi driver module doing the real disk operation. Here are some things I´d propose: - Test behaviour with default BIOS options - Test behaviour with other distro - Burn-in test, that is, writing defined patterns to the drive and check the results Please remember that there is still a slight chance of a hardware failure. A module with a defect like this is very unlikely to enter the Linux stable branch. -- beta installer left ASUS EeePC 900 unbootable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/430333 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
