Hello, folks! I have a nice Cobalt Qube 2 running with debian mipsel sarge. I have installed this OS with Martin's Howto. Martin: Good work! I was fun to install debian with d-i!
My problem: Sometimes I notice file corruption. Almost regularly the files /var/cache/apt/*.bin get broken, I receive local mail (cron, apticron, etc.) which are mixed up with arbitrary data from other files or just binary scrap, cyrus imapd's mailboxes.db gets corrupted and since I started to use mldonkey, some downloaded files get corrupted (rar reports broken CRC, video file stuck...) But on the other hand, since I use mldonkey, no apt caches got corrupted anymore, but I still receive crashed emails. My config: Server: Qube2 Kernel: kernel-image-2.4.27-r5k-cobalt (version 2.4.27-10.sarge1.040815-1) /boot on ext2r0, root on ext3, others on LVM2/XFS partitions HDD is a SAMSUNG HA200JC (200Gig, 5400rpm) hdparm -d /dev/hda reports dma off, but hdparm -I prints an * next to udma2 and hdparm -i doesn't print an * anywhere. Once I created an empty LVM2 volume and ran badblocks -w on it for one or two days w/o any problems. So my first guess was, that it might be a broken XFS driver. But then I read about problems with DMA on Michael's FAQ page. Thanks in advance, Wollie -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
