I 'solved' the problem by switching some of my harddisks to a new controller to eliminate the syncer problem and restored data from backups. The primary cause was a timeout of a harddisk attached to the HPT372 onboard controller on a Epox EP-8KRA2+ mainboard. -- Christian Hiris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | OpenPGP KeyID 0x941B6B0B OpenPGP-Key at hkp://wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net and http://pgp.mit.edu
