I've been having problems with the 2-gig drive getting badly messed up during system crashes. Bad enough that fsck requires manual intervention. Are there problems with using drives that large reliabily? Should I partition it to a pair a 1-gig areas? I hate to do that since it's supposed to be for the newsfeed. -- Tom Greenwalt ******* If I didn't stay up all night, I'd miss the sunrise. *******
