Doesn't seem to happen on short transfers (for some definition of "short" - the 4.4-mini.iso comes in right about half the time). Haven't tested one of the iso files onto the "main" IDE instead of the promise since I'm short of disk space there. The corruption appears to only be writing the disks; the md5 values are very consistent once written. -- Pete To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
