Could well do so - I stopped reading when I came to this: "... it is strongly recommended that users not run badblocks directly, but rather use the -c option of the e2fsck and mke2fs programs." :-) > > On Monday 28 Apr 2014 13:32:05 I wrote: > > Perhaps I should find a different slot for the Quadro FX580 > > card, to separate it from the usb interface. > > Always a good idea, if possible. > USB and Video are both heavily used items. Yes, you're right. I'll see what I can arrange. It must be time to get the duster out too. Also, this morning I see this in dmesg: [66770.347672] nouveau E[ PFIFO][0000:01:00.0] DMA_PUSHER - ch 4 [kwin[6587]] get 0x002007524c put 0x0020075704 ib_get 0x00000068 ib_put 0x00000072 state 0x8000753c (err: INVALID_CMD) push 0x00406040 [66770.347697] nouveau E[ PFIFO][0000:01:00.0] DMA_PUSHER - ch 4 [kwin[6587]] get 0x002037c000 put 0x002037c054 ib_get 0x00000069 ib_put 0x00000073 state 0x80000000 (err: INVALID_CMD) push 0x00406040 > USB-mouse, keyboard,harddrive,flash-stick,.... ? > Eg. anything plugged into USB can cause interrupts. No USB mouse or keyboard here; still using PS/2. I usually have a memory stick plugged in but I removed it during the investigation. The external USB disk will have been powered up for some of the time. > Also, some mainboards have additional items pre-connected to the USB-bus. Time to stick my head into the nVidia docs... -- Regards Peter
