I had some similar experience with my newly installed 1.7G harddisk (as hdb), It keeps giving me corrupted files, especially when I am dealing with large file (>3 MB).
I tested my drive under DOS and ran Norton Disk Diag on it but it reported no problem at all.
I am using 1.3.93 Linux and I am starting to suspect that it is a kernel related problem.
I gather from someone that there are some controller bugs that may exhibit such symptom when using hda and hdb together.
Still desparately looking for a solution..............
