I get that error anytime I create a new ext2 partition that contains sectors that apparently are physically bad. (Or anytime I accessed those sectors before they were formatted out as 'bad' blocks.) > My kernel is 2.4.9 and is configured to use multi mode > (CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE=y). I suppose you could try disabling that or playing with options in the BIOS pertaining to your controller. I'm sure it's at least possible the controller or disk aren't happy with the options. > My harddisk is an Maxtor 20GB and the used filesystem is reiserfs. I don't think it's a ReiserFS issue. Is this a new drive? Has this happened in the past? I had my drive for a year before my bad sectors showed up. I guess I must've bumped it the wrong way one day and the disk got damaged towards the outside of the platter. It was only a problem when it was nearly full. > Thanks in advance. > > Bye, > > Sven
