I would like to use a couple of 250GB Western Digitals to backup data.
I set up a Debian machine (I have 4 others for other purposes), to use
as a backup server. I am having difficulties with the drives. I tried
two Maxtors previous and have swapped them out thinking it was a bad set
of drives. I get various different errors copying files to these hard
drives. I have tried different partitioning schemes, rsync instead of
cp, and a few other methods, but I still get some form of error when I
get into the process of copying.
My only success has been with Knoppix. I used Knoppix and was able to
copy and rsync just fine to these disks. I would like to use Debian,
and not have to install another version of Debian or Linux.
What I am getting at is, is there any problem with having a big
partition or HD on a Debian system, or anything else someone might
know? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
