I've seen this with PIIX and Western Digital IDE disks with DMA on on several 2.4 kernels: Slow(ish) corruption of filesystems, even when read-mostly. It looks like accesing the filesystem screws it up, not only writing (i.e., / is at highest risk, even if you almost never write there). It is quite entertaining to have /etc turn into a plain file... Dunno if related. -- Dr. Horst H. von Brand User #22616 counter.li.org Departamento de Informatica Fono: +56 32 654431 Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria +56 32 654239 Casilla 110-V, Valparaiso, Chile Fax: +56 32 797513 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
