In one case(P-166) I use shared active patch and ccd driver to max the HDs perf. And it works kinda OK, but every once in a while which means every day the active file gets corrupted to the extent when it becomes unusable. A lot of BS characters appear in it,articles numbers get concatenated with the newsgroups names, non numeric characters appear in the art. numbers and so on. The system is not in a production and there is no heavy usage. So did any1 see it before ? Does shared active patch work with FreeBSD ? Well, it does work in my case , but could it cause the corruption of the active file ? I know that some folx here have news machines with ccd working OK and I'm quite satisfies with perfomance too,but this thing with active is really annoying. Rashid
