I ran 2.1.113 yesterday. I migrated my root and other important
filesystems from my IDE disks to a SCSI disk. Rebooted several times
etc etc. At the end of the day I was happily running almost without
any IDE disks (boot=/dev/hda in lilo.conf was the only essential thing
on an IDE disk).
This morning the partition table for the SCSI disk is hosed. (all
zeroes except for:
00000 1b 2a 73 31 30 34 39 30 48 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 .*s10490H.......
)
It could be:
- 2.1.113 kernel bug?
- ncr53c8xx driver bug?
- bad termination? (Unlikely, two other disks on the chain have been
working great for ages...)
- bad disk? (On saturday it did "kloing" and hung my system and then
got VERY hot during the fsck of the other filesystems. (it wasn't in
fstab then). After taking it out and back to the shop, it worked
perfectly..... for a while)
Anyway, I recommend to treat this as "not a kernel bug but something
else with this guys system". Unless of course this happens to more
people....
