Anyone? I tested the drive on Windows 98 in the same machine (dual boot) and there are no problems. Can anyone think what would cause this? btw, its a 91360u4 (not 931...).

Model Maxtor 13 gig 93160U4 I am having problems transfering my file system from disk 1 (hdb) to disk 2 (hdc). cp -a hangs under apparently random conditions. A look at ps shows that cp in waiting_on_buffer and other processes such as kupdated are also waiting for data. The hard drive light stays on and, obviously, any other commands issued after that, that need to write to hdc hang. The rest of the system runs fine. I am using redhat 8.0, I did not install the recent kernel update though it doesn't seem to affect me (even though it is an update for ext3). The SNIP..................... SNIP................. Please advise me what I can do to further test/fix this. I will try to format this in fat32 to use with windows 98 to see if I can eliminate some possibilities though I doubt that will be helpful. -Thanks, Elie. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
