I am using DMA on my drives. The problem with this bug is that it is fairly hard to observe, I've only seen it about once every other day. I should have also pointed out that I am using ext3. I thought that it might be taskfile stuff because that was the major change in the kernel the time right before I started to notice these problems. There likely is some other source of problems because you say that there should be no change in behaviour. -Nathan On Tue, Jun 10, 2003 at 08:11:22PM +0200, Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz wrote: >=20 > On Tue, 10 Jun 2003, Nathan Conrad wrote: >=20 > > I've been noticing a similar problem on my laptop.
