During regular operation, when : in a UDMA mode, I'd see a few intermittent warnings and a rare crash. When : I ran Amanda, my system would freeze - every time, guaranteed. The same : operations in PIO4 were slow but completely successfully. I'm just finishing up a level 0 dump of all filesystems, and I'm running pretty stable. This isn't surprising, and it's in line with what you saw -- running under PIO4 is stable, UDMA100 is not. Would it be worth it to try to force the system into UDMA66 or UDMA33?Received on Thu Feb 05 2004 - 11:34:06 UTC
