I found out that the errors were caused by the DMA controller. So I have disabled DMA hard disc and no write errors occur. So In the rc.d directory I have created a script that runs 'atacontrol mode [0-3] pio4 pio4' . Thus I make all hard discs to operate in PIO4 mode. Even though it is a bit slow I do not have any write errors at any disc any more. My machine has the following two controllers: atapci0: <VIA 82C686 ATA66 controller> port 0xd800-0xd80f at device 4.1 on pci0 atapci1: <Promise ATA100 controller> port 0x8400-0x843f,0x8800-0x8803,0x9000-0x9007,0x9400-0x9403,0x 9800-0x9807 mem 0xda000000-0xda01ffff irq 10 at device 17.0 on pci0 So try to use PIO4 mode for your discs and see if your data is ok. --- Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day; set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life
