Justin was >sure that he's been fixing these kind of problems meanwhile. Its not really a driver specific problem. It all depends on what you were doing when the bus stuffed up. The real problem IMHO is that fsck is pathological in cases where it probably doesn't have to be. Of course I'm also working on making the SCSI drivers more robust to these types of errors too, but someone should go look at fsck. >-- >cheers, J"org > >joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE >Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) -- Justin T.
