BUT, iirc, your problem was not an "error" but a delay incurred by a check ???
A system lockup out of the blue - no pun intended. JFS, the much larger partition survived intact.
The main difficulty with PC's is the lack of basic error analysis and monitoring - smart being the only exception I think, understandable at the price and it's often a drawn out affair finding out if hardware or software caused the problem. They usually go bump without warning.
As is with all man crafted items :^)
Real computers (read mainframes and $millions) don't do that, they leave software and hardware error logs, most times they warn you to fix the bug before it bites or they simply root around it - I'm trying hard to remember the last complete system crash, some way back in the 1990's. I think I shall start saving up the pennies to buy one, the z10 looks nice for a spot in the corner of a living room. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
