Not sure if that is your > problem, but maybe. no just using it normally, copying files from the old to the new drive, running apt-get dist-upgrade etc., and then, some files contain garbage. only on reiserfs partitions (i copied about 3gb reiserfs to reiserfs and about 15gb fat32 to fat32, both under linux), and seemingly random... as i said, the file system looks good (right filesize etc.), the files just contain garbage. so i think the contents of the files gets corrupted, and not the file system entries for them. as for the reason why, i have no idea (obviously). bye & merry christmas christian ohm - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
