e2fsck hangs mac
Quadra 700 20 MB RAM, Linux on a (std Mac) 500 MB disk, MacOS on a 80 MB
disk and another 9 GB on a Compaq 30-559812-06 w. active termination
(according to scsi in /proc/scsi it's a model BB00921B91).
This last drive gives me trouble. When mounted and the Linux-box is left
with no activity for a few hours the system hangs and can't be contacted
from anywhere. If the Compaq is not mounted there is no problem. Also, after
on-off recovery and forced e2fsck on root partition, when I try to e2fsck
the Compaq, the system hangs again after the first pass. If I mount it w/o
e2fsck check the disk runs normally, i.e. I can store and retrive files etc.
But I feel a bit uncomfortable.
Any ideas out there? Any driver patches I need for this Compaq?
Hans
