Hello-
I don't know why this happened, or have any technical info, but. I was
on-line, reading mail, netscape was open, went to move a file (local-fairly
large, ~10MB)( and yes, I had done this sucessfully before) from ext2 to FAT32
scsi drive, in the middle of the transfer, the system froze-solid. Dead. The
only way out was -reset. Which, on reboot, my hard drive was read only.
hmmm. rebooted to windblows, scandisk found a problem that it couldn't correct.
Partition Magic couldn't read it. hmmm, backup-> format- found corruption in
the file allocation table, fixed it (wheeeewww). Restore. Kernel problem? FS
problem? don't know.
Just thought I'd share this with anybody/everybody. In case this
matters, or means anything more than pushing the reset button when frozen can
be dangerous to FAT32.
