I'm not sure if this is related, but I've noticed that over non-PPP connections,
downloading files via ftp program often results in corruption, while ncftp
works fine, and I don't know why.... but I also get many "deleted inode
has 0 dtime" w/ DMA enabled OR disabled on IBM Deskstar 5 or
Maxtor DiamondMax 6.4GB (cant remember model #'s), which I'm
sure are fine drives.... could this be related to not flushing the IDE drive's
cache? I noticed NT 4.0 had a hotfix to enable flushing of write-cache,
so I am under the impression that it is possible.... and yes, my machine
does automatically turn off. But I have experienced no other fs
corruption except for locked kernels that I had to reset...
