I forgot to mention that I did a badblocks on the partitions and the two whole disks. No issues reported. I formated the disks several times and reinstalled the whole gentoo and compiled the kernel again more than one time (I tried 2.6.24-rc3 too) 'cause of the ext3 / other fs issues. I did dd if=/dev/zero of=... on the partitions and the whole disks. No issues of bad blocks. The strange thing is everything works fine under Windows XP x64 Prof. But I don't wanted to use that OS really... So I can't believe that's a hardware issue of the disks. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
