I bought a Seagate FreeAgent Desktop 250GB drive yesterday, attached it in about 2 minutes, formatted 3 partitions (backup, opt and mymedia), moved the music files (about 15 gig) from the internal drive in the laptop to the Seagate, then commenced to do some downloading with bittorrent. After awhile I noticed I couldn't save any files on the mymedia partition and saw it had been remounted read-only. That was yesterday afternoon and I just figured out (after numerous fsck's which deleted errors but then when remounting the partition got error message that fsck was required AAAARRRRGGH) to delete and remake the journal about an hour ago.
I've put both the hacks into /etc/rc.local and have my fingers crossed but it would be nice (and right) to have some restart code in the kernel. That code posted above looks interesting, maybe I'll see if I can adapt it to my system and give it a whirl... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
