after rebooting from a unix file system check fsck -fy done in singleuser mode , which reports volume appears to be ok, it runs fine for a while, and the aforementioned problems slowly seem to develop over the course of around 24 hrs ......this box runs 24/7 hosting 2 websites; could the crons that run in the middle of the night have something to do with this?...i'm just fishing for answers to the problem here. as for hd failure..there are 2 drives installed; one has 3,partitions, each with a system installed, as well as drive genius 2 which i use regularly to defrag drives which are used for digital audio recording and editing and for video recording and editing as well. the other drive is a data only drive in 2 partitions. while both are not new, they have been working well for me in the da box, so i'm inclined to think the switch from the da box to the qs box is at the heart of the matter. i'd just go back, but for a problem with the ethernet port on the da box....it works fine connecting to the broadband modem from my isp, but will not show up on lan ports of maxpower router. router is good, works with other macs, and the qs box works with the router. da ethernet problem is daunting, as everything works but the ethernet connection to my router, which is needed for wireless internet to an imac elsewhere in the building. any ideas? thanks joe mac ace guitar and vocal studio

If you have a second hard drive you might want to clone your system to it then try booting from it and seeing if your problems disappear. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
