Hi,
I'm using the linux kernel 2.6.10 and busybox on an AMD db AU1550 with a hdd connected to the pata port of a PCI card (Promise PDC20579).
I've got file copy corruption on big files (around 500MB). I made some investigations and I found that sometimes the read(fd,4096) function returns unexpected data and sometimes after a write(fd,4096) function, the data on disk is not the data send in the write() function...
Maybe a hw bug ? A hw or sw DMA transfer bug ? or anything else... I need to known what happens so I try everything...
Any idea on my problem Jeff ?
David
Note: I've connected a hdd through the ide interface in PIO mode and my problem seems to not appear. But when I enable DMA, I've got a lot of error messages. In other word, the DMA doesn't work (as it is wrote in the HELP of the option in the kernel) with the ide interface.

Why do you wish to do this?
