I've just finished uploading beta8b to the website but before you all get too excited I need to point out that it probably isn't worth upgrading. This upgrade contains changes which will not be retracted by reapplying a previous upgrade (it alters the partition table of the first disk). This means that you cannot return to any previous version after installing beta8b.

If you are suffering from ff000007 errors whilst checking the hard disks then this upgrade should solve that problem.

The only reason we have uploaded this release is to provide an escape route in case beta8c contains problems that require people to downgrade. We expect beta8c to be available very soon.
