It's bad hardware, very clearly in your case (since turning off the external cache worked). You don't describe your disk controller, but if it's a SCSI busmaster controller, it might help to enable the external cache but operate it in `write-through' mode. This doesn't lose much performance (unlike turning it off totally). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
