file system error

[Munjun Kang]

Thanks for your reply.

I tried as your suggest.

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=1024 count=10000 ~ 100000
Segmentation fault's are occured in random by count.

and then, turn off the UDMA feature by hdparm option.
But, I can see same symptom.

In this time, I tried to attach SCSI & IEEE1394 SBP-2 devices.
case1. Adaptec 2930 SCSI adapter + 8GB Seagate SCSI HDD
case2. IEEE1394 Interface card + external IEEE1394 HDD
both cases show the same problem.

Now, I think it's not a DMA problem.
I'm in the maze. hmmmm......

Is there any clear hint?
