I may have found the (hardware) problem. For an unrelated reason I moved the disk to a different USB port on the same computer. My script has now been running for quite a while and written about 90 Gb of data with (so far) no problem. The new disk is USB 3.0 (2.0 compatible) but the computer is

short version: I have a new USB external drive. The script I used on my old disk crashes randomly after the disk mysteriously becomes read-only. Re-mounting solves the problem. I suspect a hardware problem, but can't prove it and I'm sure if I go to BUG with the disk they'll

Yes, it seems like hardware failure. I suggest replacing your card with something else and see if this goes away (it will probably will). Thanks, Hetz On 11/10/05, Shlomo Solomon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The subject says it all. For the past 2 days I've been losing my ADSL > connection and h

That looks OK. I asked about the /boot location because it must be completely below the 1023 track limit (about 8.4Gb). With only 6Gb you're OK. (BTW, I also have an ancient system with a 6Gb drive which checks out OK but plays up similar to what you describe, but under Win.) My technician pal
