Hello, I have been having strange data corruption related problems for some time. I spent some time this weekend trying to track down the issues. My system: Asus A7V-E, Bios 1004, Athlon 1.2, running a 40G HDD off the first IDE controller in UDMA/100. Symptons: Writing large files (first discovered with corrupt ISO images) to the local HDD causes corruption. I can reliably corrupt the files with a simple test of: md5 ISO-IMAGES/* & cp ISO-IMAGES/* test ; md5 test/* After much disk thrashing the contents of the ISO images in the test directory are corrupt. The symptoms seemed to start some time around 4.7. I have booted a few kernels over the last day to try and check this out: 1) linux-2.4.18 works fine 2) windows 2k works fine 3) freebsd-4.6.2 works fine 4) freebsd-4.7-stable no good 5) freebsd-5.0p7 no good 6) freebsd current from 12th April no good. I have never seen a dmesg output saying the the corruption bug was being fixed at boot time either. Any ideas? Regards/mark
