SubjectRe: Jaz drive and EXT2FS - HELP! - (long)

Don't know what happened here, however, if I were you, I'll
try recompile the kernel iwth TAGGED_QUEUEING, PAGE_ENABLE
disabled. These are some advanced features, suppose to speed
up the SCSI I/O, but I think something wrong with the Jaz
interface or whatever reason, whenever I tried to copy a large
directory, it'd screw up the directory entries. So use the
most basic setup if you got a Jaz drive.
