Hey All,
I'm having a vexing problem with FC8 losing connection to one of my hard drives. I've had it drop out in a matter of a few minutes. This time it was working for several days before it quit.
I have two drives on my system. One SATA drive has the system installed on it. The other, plugged into the IDE header has data files on it. The SATA drive runs fine. The IDE drive will eventually quit working. I can cd onto the drive as long as I don't try to access something that is not already in the disk cache. When I try to access the drive I get this error: 

[mlapier@mushroom mlapier]$ cd /sdb1
[mlapier@mushroom sdb1]$ cd mlapier
[mlapier@mushroom mlapier]$ cd mail
[mlapier@mushroom mail]$ cd MYDIR

ls: reading directory .: Input/output error

[mlapier@mushroom piano]$ cd /sdb2
[mlapier@mushroom sdb2]$ cd piano
[mlapier@mushroom piano]$ ls
ls: reading directory .: Input/output error

There are two partitions mounted thus:

I've been running Linux for many years on many boxes but I've never encountered a situation like this. The only way I've found to restore operation is a to reboot. 

Anyone got any clues??

----
I think the clues are likely to be found in errors in /var/log/messages
or dmesg

Craig
I didn't see much of interest in dmesg output but the /var/log/messages file is chock full of references to ata3 Here's a snippet from the start of the kernel messages:

Well, it's been 24 hours and no reply. Am I asking too hard a question? Maybe I should post this to a different list?
