There is a problem with 11.2 x86_64 that causes disk corruption on USB and Remote filesystems when you connect to them.

I had similar problems on my son's machine with 11.2/x86. It's an AthlonXP 3200+. I'll have to check the motherboard(Abit something). When I used the onboard IDE controller, the DMA mode would finally drop back to UDMA/33. I was using an 80GB that was fine and tested several times in other machines. I did get some corruption. However, I pulled the drive and used the onboard SATA controller which seemed to be ok. However, I don't have the machine handy ATM. I figured it was a bug in the chipset, but couldn't find a way to fix it. I guess I'll install 11.0 on it and see what happens. Probably won't have time to mess with it before the weekend(if then - moving and his machine is packed up).... Wish I had done more troubleshooting now..
