(running 2.2.10-ac3)
Using an ATAPI Zip drive (mounted as HDD since the IBM internal one doesn't come with a jumper on the back to disable the "skip partition table" behaviour).
I did a "cmp /zip/linux-2.2.10.tar.gz /usr/local/src/linux" and got these messages: ide-floppy: hdd: I/O error, pc = 28, key = 4, asc = 47, ascq = 0 end_request: I/O error, dev 16:40 (hdd), sector 188368 ide-floppy: hdd: I/O error, pc = 28, key = 4, asc = 47, ascq = 0 end_request: I/O error, dev 16:40 (hdd), sector 189372 ide-floppy: hdd: I/O error, pc = 28, key = 4, asc = 47, ascq = 0 end_request: I/O error, dev 16:40 (hdd), sector 194254 ide-floppy: hdd: I/O error, pc = 28, key = 4, asc = 47, ascq = 0 end_request: I/O error, dev 16:40 (hdd), sector 6838 ide-floppy: hdd: I/O error, pc = 28, key = 4, asc = 47, ascq = 0 end_request: I/O error, dev 16:40 (hdd), sector 14420
So I unmounted the drive, ran e2fsck on it (no errors), then remounted it:
hdd: The drive reports both 100663296 and 100646912 bytes as its capacity VFS: Disk change detected on device ide1(22,64) hdd: unknown partition table hdd: The drive reports both 100663296 and 100646912 bytes as its capacity VFS: Disk change detected on device ide1(22,64) hdd: unknown partition table
I reran the cmp - no problems. Is this just a temporary error or indicative of other problems (maybe hardware problems)?
Oddly enough, the memory usage of the computer was staggeringly high earlier in teh day (128MB mem + 48MB swap => 20K free). I couldn't see any programs eating the memory and the kernel wasn't. Closing netscape had no effect, but killing X-windows (which itself was at 17MB usage IIRC) freed the memory (leaving me with about 28MB used + buffers (about 100MB actually free IIRC).
Cheers
