Hi all-
    I have been experiencing some bad, ongoing fs corruption. I can't figure
out what is causing it. It started happening after I recently formatted a
partion into vfat32, but the corruption happens on my /usr partition. The
drive happens to be udma, and I think I have the driver for it ( I believe
it is beta, or was). At first I thought it was Windows corrupting it, and I
stayed away for awhile. It seems to be something in linux. I even
reformatted the partition. I don't think its the udma driver, cause I have
/usr/src on hdc4, vfat32 on hdc3, Beos on hdc2, whereas /usr is /hdc1, and
/usr/src does fine. I am starting to think it might be the xserver I am
using. Is that possible? I have an ATI All-in-wonder 128, and using a
jerry-rigged SUSE xserver that seems to work fine. I dunno... I am
perplexed.
Any suggestions, comments?
