So, I was puttering around last night and Linux decided it was done running and crashed in a big way... almost (cringe) like a normal Windows crash. I was forced to do a reboot. After the restart the filesystem on hdb was corrupt. It restarted in recover mode and I ran e2fsck /dev/hdb7 Everything seemed to be patched up and the OS restarted fine. 10 minutes later it did it again.

I finally traced the problem down to a faulty drive power cable. That is fixed now (I hope) but I seem to have a problem I can't find a solution to... my console is littered with this error message now:

Apr 24 17:51:01 linux kernel: hdb: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } Apr 24 17:51:01 linux kernel: hdb: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC }

So... my question to all you gurus.... how do you fix this? In Windows I could take the easy way out and run Norton Disk Doctor.... in Linux????

This sounds more like your drive is failing. You can try backing up your data and reformatting the drive, but I suspect that it wouldn't cut it... - -tosi -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE65cyf6mRH+PEpr2YRAuWqAJ9qRjL88NoUl6x10lom9Qr4hBM4nQCcCZ31 JEHvaXKWG/iVAebyjnk9sis= =xUro -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
