I read those articles also. The troube is, all of our recent IDE drive purchases have been the IBM DTLA drives. :( We thought they were goo drives. Until this, we *never* had a problem with them. We really don't have any other IDE disks around to try. I just copied a 5GB file and then did a cmp of the two, identical. I'll start a loop of coping the file and comparing them and let it run over night. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
