This drives me mad! My cvsup didn't go as I planned, so I reinstalled from scratch yesterday. Updated my ports-tree and installed proftp and set it up. I formatted my Sata-discs WITH the logical geometry printed at seagates sit= e. Started a transfer, it lasted 2 hours, then :/ Now my whole can is frozen and I can't do anything but restart. Somebody, please help! --=20 Sebastian Holmqvist Webprogrammer / HL2 modder http://cae.hl2files.com
