Hey there,tried to reformat the disk using parted's mkpartfs (ext3 this time) today. Didn't work, though -- at least not on the 2.6 kernel. When parted said it couldn't read/write to the drive, I had a look at dmesg and it resemble yesterday's errors (see below). I figured the drive is seriously damaged, as in... broken sectors. But here comes the interesting part: After rebooting the Qube to 2.4.27, I did the same procedure as described above -- and, well, parted formatted the drive without any complaints.
Any ideas? Thanks, Daniel Daniel Rheinbay schrieb:
Hey guys,during the course of the day *somebody* disconnected the USB2 drive from my qube. I couldn't remount it, so I rebooted the Qube and tried again. It worked at first, but while SFTPing data off the disk, the drive was unexpectedly unmounted. Here comes the relevant stuff from dmesg piped thru uniq:---snip--- EXT2-fs warning: mounting unchecked fs, running e2fsck is recommended usb 3-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2 usb 3-1: device not accepting address 2, error -145 usb 3-1: USB disconnect, address 2 sd 0:0:0:0: scsi: Device offlined -

Because of that moron who disconnected the external drive while it was running? I dunno. You decide whether it is 2.6kernel-related or not. I guess I'll stick with reformatting the drive.I thought this report just sorta belonged to what I submitted earlier today.Thanks, Daniel
