That's it. I just nukes the buffer cache. Well, *just* might be a bit weak here. IIRC, there are some sublte bugs in the buffer cache as of 2.4.0-test11, which are appearently triggered by hdparm. A reboot *cleared* the problem - at least as far as i know. Can't yet reliably tell for files, which were written to the buffer-cache, but not yet flushed - *sic*. The lastest test12-pre seems to address that problem. Oh boy, I wish I wouldn't need 2.4.0-test<something> ;-) Anyway, thanks. > > > Paul Slootman > -- Regards, T.
