I am experiencing the following problem:

Hardware: Mac IIx, external 330MB disk with 4 Mac Partitions (real ones) on it.
Software: System 6.0.4, DeskTop Manager, various INITs

Occasionally, while debugging code, I will crash and have to poke the restart
switch to reboot.  Sometimes one of the formerly mounted partitions will
fail to mount, with a "This Disk is Damaged, do you want to Initialize it?"
alert.  If I restart the machine in Finder mode, with Disk First Aid as the
startup application, DFA can read the partition and reports no errors.  It
still fails to mount, however.  SUM utilities can (always) recover ALL the
files, correctly.  I then rebuild the file system on the partition and
copy everything back.  I have used several different drivers with the drive,
including SuperMac (who originally sold the drive) and lately MicroNet, which
seems to work a bit better.

Anyone have any ideas?
