[lug] Data integrity problems on new machine

[George Sexton]

You might want to run hdparm and see what the settings are, and back off to
less aggressive ones.

What kernel version are you running?

Subject: [lug] Data integrity problems on new machine


Hi,

I'm running an ASUS A7V motherboard with a 800MHZ Athlon, an IBM IDE hard
drive (master on 1st IDE controller), a RealTek SCSI controller with a Ecrix
tape drive, a Mitsumi CDR/RW drive (master on 2nd IDE) a 52X IDE CD-ROM
(slave on 2nd IDE).

Here's my problem:

When I copy a CD to disk, I always get compare errors at random spots.

When I checksum the CD I always get the same answer

When I back up from disk to tape (dump/restore), and then restore from tape,
the data being restored is incorrect.

So, what's the cause of these data integrity problems on this brand new
machine?

	Thanks!
