- I had this problem from 0.97pl1, and now pl2, when SCSI is accessed, the
- system seems stop to respond to other vc, and SCSI itself is SLOW. sometimes
- the hard drive LED light but nothing happened, when this happened, I usually
- can issue some command on other vc and the "deadlock" on SCSI seemed resolved.
- the system is:
- 33 MHZ 486 with AHA1542B Maxter 8760S, the files systems are sda3 32MB swap
- (I don't know I need it since I have 16MB memary), sda4 64MB minix, sda5 100MB
- on logical device, sda5 200MB also a logical device. sda[56] are extended files
- systems. I guess the problems may be that I use extended file systems on
- extended partition on a SCSI drive? can I repartition the system that not use
- the extended partition solve the problem? The other partitions are used for
- OS/2, so the system must coexist with OS/2.
-
- Thanks.
