Unfortunately I have had it get eaten three times now when it gets near the end, I had it partition into two parts, a 19 gig and a 17. When I started writing near the end of the drive the kernel goes bonkers, cruds out, panics, reboots then comes back up, can't get through fsck, run manually, run an fsck -y so it just cranks, eventually seg faults out, happened to me three times and lost all data on the second partition, not sure exactly what to do about this situation. I assume this isn't anything defective with the drive and is just a problem with something with bsd. Anybody know a fix for this?
