The IDE disk is a Western Digital WD1000BB-50CCB0, system chipset is VIA KT600. Ideas please?
get smartd up and running. It'll tell you when the drive is due for replacement.
Well, since the drive is absolutely new, it's been running for about 12 hours, it shouldn't be failing. Anyway, after some hours of googling I came up with some hints on that reiserfs with some 2.6 kernels are having real problems with some IDE drives and their cache memory. So, I reformatted with ext3 and the problem is gone.. Anders.
