My recent rash of Western Digital problems came to my attention because
of just such messages. I downloaded some diagnostic tools that found all
kinds of problems. I guess I should of mentioned that I was running a RH5.0
system as well.
The sad part is, the system would boot just fine...but fail miserably
when I tried to create a file/directory when logged in. So maybe it wasn't
the drive but some RH5 thing? Never had such problems with RH4.X.
