User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.3i Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi! I had compactflash from Apacer (256MB), and it started corrupting data in few months, eventually becoming useless and being given back for repair. They gave me another one and it is just starting to corrupt data. First time I repartitioned it; now I only did mke2fs, and data corruption can be seen by something as simple as cat /mnt/cf/mp3/* > /mnt/cf/delme; md5sum /mnt/cf/delme. [Fails 1 in 5 tries]. Anyone seen something similar? Are there some known-good compactflash-es? Pavel -- Worst form of spam? Adding advertisment signatures ala sourceforge.net. What goes next?
