Shutdown unmounts all disks, so it's unlikely that is the source of the problems. If that's what you always do, then the disk might be failing. OTOH, if you suspend your laptop and then undock, I'm not sure whether that's okay or not. I don't know what happens to disks during a suspend. galen -- Galen Seitz [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
