Hi all, I'm getting some wierd issue with my linux box,
I simply can't copy big files between fs without getting a segfault. And I really don't know if it is an hardware or software bug. I'm running Sid, with a 2.4.10 kernel, on a Abit KT7 with an Tbird 1Ghz, there is two hard disk : hda: IBM-DTLA-305040, ATA DISK drive hdb: IBM-DTLA-307015, ATA DISK drive I highly suspect the second one to be the source of all my troubles (as it has proven multiple time in the past to be unrealiable) but the system won't recognize the first one at boot time if the second one is not there (not a jumper mis-configuration, I checked). here is for example the output of a strace cp (bigfile) (otherfs) [*snip*] write(4, "\235\206\24\17\334RL\313\245\242\330\331e\212\223\210\221"..., 4096) = 4096 read(3, <unfinished ...> +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++ [end] I'll try to change hardware element one by one to see which element is faulty, In the next few days, I'm going to buy a new hard disk and copy my system on it (if I can copy it without getting segfaults...). So, does anyone of you got any idea of what's going on or can help me to figure it ? Thanks in advance ---- Fabien Piuzzi [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.demenzia.net ----
