I have an FC3 machine (running MythTV) that I just hooked up a 200GB drive in a Mad Dog enclosure. The machine is very unstable with the drive plugged in. Symptom 1: when I read or write large files it either pauses for a while or completely locks up the machine. I can usually still ping the nic, but can't do anything else. Can't ssh and can't use the console.
What type of file system does the disk have? What mount options do you have for the disk? Especially, you should make sure that the disk isn't mounted with the sync option.
