The only such corruption I have seen is on Blade 100 systems with ALi IDE chipsets, it was a DMA problem. First, I suggest doing a complete fsck from single user. Anytime you have corruption, that should be the first thing you do (even before you try to fix the corrupted files). Second, try disabling DMA on the IDE disk, and see if that helps. -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://www.linux1394.org/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ WatchGuard - http://www.watchguard.com/
