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???? Clayton
