Hmmmm, you're making me nervous... :-( I can hardly believe it's a HW problem since the machine in question is a server machine that's running 24 hrs./day, and it's been VERY reliable so far. It's performing it's service since some years now (ok, that doesn't prevent it from dying some day, but...) Apart from that I haven't seen a SINGLE message from the IDE driver (like timeouts or read/write errors.) Shouldn't that be the case if you suspect the hard drive? How would I check a swap partition for errors? >What kernel version are you running? 2.4.14 with XFS. I'm planning to upgrade to 2.4.17 or 18 soon... -- Verkaufe Original-BMW-Raeder: L I N U X .~. http://adsl-bergs.rz.rwth-aachen.de/~rabe The Choice /V\ of a GNU /( )\ Generation ^^-^^
