Interesting - after an Update of my PC164 from an 5.1 or even older to a recent 5.x I noticed lot of mysterious filesystem corruptions that did not went away after updating to 6-STABLE. Since this is basicly a SCSI machine I moved the IDE disks to an x86. I always had the impression of data corruption on those IDE disks, but after the update things went much worse so there wasn't any doubt about a real problem somewhere. IIRC even fsck -n output was different between multiple runs. Disk speed before and after the update had a major difference, before it was something around 2M/s and after the update I got >10M/s. My assumption at that time was a cabeling problem, which was triggered by the larger speed. -- B.Walter BWCT http://www.bwct.de bernd@bwct.de info@bwct.de
