I used to have continual problems and frustration with having to backup and restore my development partition. Now, I too have moved to a smaller partition which only requires a minimum of effort to backup and restore. There was a comment from one of the CA people that the "Read/Write error" requester is only generated on a media error. When I diskdoctor such a partition, I get "multiple files reference block", but after restoring (I backed up before diskdoctoring with a file by file type backup program), not one single file is corrupted or missing. The data checks out flawlessly when I just read off of that partition using my media checking program. My personal opinion is that the problem is in the FFS handler! -- ----- gregg.g.wonderly@att.com (AT&T bell laboratories)
