Subject:   ATA100 problem?
Message-ID:  <20010313172155.A754@northernbrewer.com>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I'm using IBM-DTLA drives on a Promise ATA100 Controller (onboard an
Asus A7V). My dmesg is attached below.

I am having problems accurately writing data to the disk, particularly
with large files (500+ mb). Attempts to gzip/gunzip files over 500 mb
often result in 'invalid compressed data--crc error'. bzip/bzip2 also 
fails with similar errors. The larger the file, the more likely it is to
fail.

I am able to repeatedly reproduce this problem simply by copying
sufficiently large files (4 gb seems to work every time). The md5 hashes
of the source file and copy do not match. I have tried this on two
different filesystems (two different disks in fact - both IBM-DTLA
drives). I get the same result.

I use this system extensively, and haven't noticed any other problems;
just on large files!

I'm not sure if this is a hardware problem, a driver problem, or
something else, but I was advised to post a message to stable.
