Is it just vaguely possible that you are perhaps just a little bit touchy about anything that might even perversely be (mis-)construed as a compari- son between FreeBSD and Linux? Please read what I wrote. No comparison of any kind between these two OSes was either expressed or implied. In order to help clarify the problem, I merely noted that this specific *DISK DRIVE* has been operating with no problems (under *both* FreeBSD and Linux) for some time now. If anything, I believe that this combined evidence strongly points to a newly-developed *HARDWARE* problem in the *DISK DRIVE*. To reiterate, no OS comparisons were either expressed or implied. Furthermore, having just witnessed (here) someone else being roasted over an open flame for having FAILED to provide all relevant details regarding the background of some problem, I find it rather inexplicable that _I_ should now be roasted for having done the exact opposite, i.e. having provided as much potentially useful background information about my specific problem as possible. P.S. I'm a complete agnostic with regards to OSes. I have neither any specific religious beliefs with regards to OSes, nor any desire whatsoever to engage in religious flame wars about them. I have better things to do. P.P.S. Since joining the -hackers list only a short time ago, I've made every effort to restrain myself from my natural tendency to either begin, or to participate in flame wars. I've done that despite the fact that at about half of the traffic here on -hackers since I joined seem to consist of flames (of one form or another) that I have been tempted to jump into the middle of, _and_ despite the fact that I myself have a well and widely known propensity to start or participate in flaming myself. I came here only to learn and to benefit from the combined wisdom here... not to read flames or to be flamed. A simple plea: Can we all just get along?
