Well now that you mention it ;-) On anything lower than my Mega STe I was victim to harddrive crashes almost weekly. Now for some reason those systems treat me right but I don't do much with my 1040. My Mega STe is reliable. The falcon I notice is *ultra* reliable but I did have a strange issue once. My system backup script consists of copying 4 partitions from an IDE disk into folders on a scsi disk. It used to do rm -rf /h/c/, rm -rf /h/d/ and so on. Somehow, someway there was some sort of corruption that caused it to start rm -rf / so it quickly wiped out C:, D: and part of E:. This was annoying to say the least, however the backup from before was still on my backup disk so this wasn't too bad. Also I was able to recover most of what was already on D: and E: even though it wiped files so this was quite good! This is for sure not a TOS bug. This is a bug I poked at in either ext2 or freemint. These things happen and our userbase isn't big enough to weed out stuff like that. Instead I dealt with the situation much more easily. mkfs.ext2 H: before I start the backup script which no longer rm -rf's ;) I wish though I could backup over samba but that doesn't work. Also making huge .tar.gz files doesn't work either. That's something that should be able to be found. Thanks, -- Mark Duckworth <mduckworth@atari-source.com> Atari-source.com
