Pardon me. My brain passed gas here. lol Could it be that my drives
file system has ran out of inodes or whatever they are called? That may
explain why I can't copy anything to it but it works fine as far as
reading goes.
Thoughts? How do I check/change it? Headed to some man pages too.

To check this, you could try creating a new file (with size = 0) on the root of
that drive, like (After you close and save all your work):
touch<mountpoint of drive>/LetMeseeIfThisWorksOrIfTheKernelPanicsAgain
If it doesn't panic, check if that file actually exists.

It worked fine and it was there with 0 bytes. Weird.
I sort of gave up on this drive. I had a very kind soul to send me a
video card when I did this build. He also sent me a 250Gb drive. I
copied all I could to that but did lose a LOT of my videos and such.
Anyway, I'm doing this right now:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc
I figure that will put it back like brand new and very blank. I'll
recreate my partition, throw a file system on it and see if it will let
me copy back to it or not.
While I am at it, what is the best file system for videos? That is the
biggest thing I use that drive for. I had a LOT of NCIS, CSI and other
shows that are now gone. Anyway, what are opinions on a file system for
videos on a 750Gb drive? I had reiserfs on it before.
Thanks.
