I have a Supermicro box with dual 3.2GHz Xeon processors, a 250GB disk
containing FC5 and 16 x 750GB sata disks on a single Areca controller.

The script below locks the machine solid about 40% of the time that I
run it.
It should remove the first partition from each of the sata drives
(sdb-sdq) and
write a single new 250GB partition to each of them.
There is nothing printed on the console, nothing in /var/log/messages - in
fact no error messages of any sort. If I run the parted commands one by one
from the console I can never make it crash.
Ideas anyone??

parted -s /dev/sd$i rm 1
parted -s /dev/sd$i mkpart primary ext2 0 250GB
done
