The primary channel has two drives on it, comprising the /boot filesystem (RAID-1 on both disks), / filesystem (first disk only), /home (RAID-1 on both disks), and /data (second disk only). The secondary channel has one drive (/var/video and my seldom used Windows partition) and one DVD-RW drive on it. Both channels are using cable-select cables and are jumpered as such. > - Can you do large fetches and writes to the second drive without > getting DMA errors?

Sounds to me like a flakey drive or bad cables or cabling. -- Ben Steeves _ bcs@xxxxxxxxxx The ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) ben.steeves@xxxxxxxxx against HTML e-mail X GPG ID: 0xB3EBF1D9 http://www.metacon.ca/bcs / \ Yahoo Messenger: ben_steeves
