To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Message-Id: Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 4192 Lines: 86 I just got a new 200GB disk (WDC WD2000JB) for my home machine (Asus A7A266, Ali chipset). I put some partitions on it like so: hda1: 100MB - /boot hda2: 8192MB - / hda3: 1024MB - swap hda4: the rest (about 190GB I guess) - /home I find that when I mkfs on /home, I get massive filesystem corruption on / When I fsck / (and restore the deleted files) I get massive filesystem corruption on /home. Luckily all my real data is still on my old disk... I reduced the size of /home to 40GB and everything was fine. I see the same behaviour with both 2.6.0test3 and 2.4.22. My guess is that writes to very high numbered blocks are wrapping round to lower numbered blocks in some way. so...anyone else seen this? Is it a known driver problem? Or is it a hardware issue? Anyone care to suggest stuff to try? The contents of the disk are toast (pretty much) so I can do destructive tests if it'll help...
