I really appreciate this. Could you please send me a link that documents
the bug?
I have seen bug reports, but they are not perfect in that they don't show
_why_ the crash has occured. For all I know they have a bad cable or dodgy
memory.
Also, I tried 2.4.19 and _still_ got a crash.
I would love to move to xfs, but this is a conservative shop, and xfs
isn't in the main kernel. I _could_ quite easily set it up, but my boss
would veto it, unless I could document why this is overwhelmingly
necessary. Finally, it's tough to backup and restore 470 G. It takes some
time.
Thanks.
Fred
