Just 15Gb. It doesn't take that long. >Are you sure it's frozen and not just taking >a long time? I am certain. Not even the keyboard would respond. >I had this happen a few weeks ago, but wasn't able to determine the cause. I found it must be a problem, of some strange sort, with the machine. Took the drive to another machine and it ran fsck with no problems. The strange thing is that I have run a hardware test program against the machine and it can not find anything wrong. I figured maybe bad memory may be to blame. >You have been making backups, correct? I am doing one right now. :-) That machine is actually where I store my backups from other machines, but I have been failing to save data which is uniquely on that machine. I am doing so as I type this. Also I am thinking of bringing back to use a tape drive I have sitting around. I probably will give bru tape backup program a test to see how it works.
