I completely destroy two partitions, trashed filesystem and lost all contents (ok, it was backuped ;) copying files over them. I need a format from floppy to resume. I was even unable to remove some strange named files (files with non ascii-7 chars I suppose). Initially I think to a nfs related problem, but it happens even using ftp and scp, not only cp. I splitted large files into smaller ones, 8Megs each, and tryed to copy into a foreach loop, pausing 10/15secs between copies. But it reboot all the times, and _all_ means a very high number (I lost the count, but over 20). All the (unwanted) test was with and without X, fsck-ing in single user by hand (just to be informed of what get lost). Activity led stay solid-rock-on all the copy time, after 70/80 Megs mouse locks up for a while and then machine reboot without any other message. Again, copying to a local ufs fs and than from local ufs to local fat32 works fine (I just finished to restore them). NB: I used this config on the last 3 years, upgrading both server (now 4.5) and my machine at least once at a month. Copying from local ufs or fat32 to remote nfs file server work fine (for now :-). If some dmesg, /var/log/messages or kernel config can help I can post to list or provide a link to my home ftp/http to save bandwidth and don't flood the list. Riccardo.
