Message-ID: <20010313172155.A754@northernbrewer.com> Mail-Followup-To: Christopher Farley , stable@freebsd.org, sos@freebsd.org Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i Organization: Northern Brewer, St. Paul, MN Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG 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. ----------dmesg attached below---------- Copyright (c) 1992-2001 The FreeBSD Project.
