Most likely, nobody with the ability to find and fix the cause of your problem has been able to reproduce it. It's really hard to fix a bug you can't reproduce; you're basically flying blind, unless the person who reported the issue is very experienced and can cooperate in diagnosing the problem (which is very rare). > I want to do more to help, but I don't know what I *can* do, besides > offer to buy people identical hardware for attempted reproduction, or > put up a test box with serial console access for developers to beat up > on. Several developers already *have* identical hardware, or nearly so. (speaking for myself, all my Seagate disks are dead, and I use Western Digital exclusively these days, as they tend to live longer in my experience; sometimes they don't even fail until *after* the warranty runs out!) > | Making life hard for others since 1977.
