Greetings!

I use a reservecache of 32, and I still have the problems. What size are your hard drives? Maybe there is an issue with larger disks. I run 2.0b11 + hijack 253, nothing else. I also see a problem when I upload any file (ftp or through hyperterm), or do any kind of drive work (copies, etc).

One thing I did notice, I think it might only be on the Mark2a. When I had the Mark2, I did not see this problem with sync or shell. It may have just been coincidence, but perhaps it relates to the memory handling since the Mark2 was only 12MB and the Mark2a is 16MB...

I made a few posts on the matter a while back. I am hoping that, when my button kit comes in, I will send the entire empeg off to Mark for installation so he can see the problem first hand. Assuming he is not enjoying himself on a rock somewhere...

Additional:

Well, I tried setting the reservecache to 64, rebooted and just tried to ftp a file up. Crunch! The commands I used in ftp were "bin", "hash", "quote site rw", "put xsl.tar" - Charcoalgrey's XML interface.

It locked up the ftp window, but I had a console session open, and got the following dump. I am now going to spend 90 minutes (45 per drive) fscking the filesystems. That's the only problem with big drives - they take a very long time to check...
