Hi CU_AMIGA

check or replace the flat cable and try to change the MaxTransfer.

@ Piru

sorry Piru but not always :-)

If you have some troubles with PFS and SFS, it is better to do a fullformat.

Remember that with SFS, you can do a FULL format ONLY using the Format command of AOS. (SFSFormat do only Quick format).

Hi CU_AMIGA

my setup is:

MASK= 0x7FFFFFFE

MaxTransfer= 0x0001FE00  (IIRC like you)

Take a large LHA archive (>5MB), copy it to RAM: and then again to the HD and unarchive it.

Try a couple of times and check the integrity.

If it is corrupted, probably you must change the MazTransfer for ALL your partition.

Don't change the MASK (or you'll loose all your data).

Try this MaxTransfer: 0x7FFFFFFF  


PS- wich FS do you use on the other partition?

 . . .as usual, you have forgotten the 4 "magic letters" at the end of your post:

@Piru

right . . .should be used ONLY in some special situation as the CU_AMIGA one it is.

CU_AMIGA, is a couple of month that has problem with its new HD.

He has tryed pratically ALL without luck.

As all of us should know, it doesn't exists 2 systems that works in the same way even if apparently they are the same.

and for the full format, in this particular situation (even if i'm still thinking that could be a flat cable related problem), a full format COULD be the job (as reported even on PFS3 docs).

Obviously . . .IMHO :-)

Hi CU_AMIGA

from PFS3.guide:

"A PFS3 volume can be formatted just like a FFS volume. It is even possible
to use the 'quick' format option on a volume that used to be a FFS volume.
It is tempting to use quick format since it is a very fast way to format
your disk. There is a problem with quick format, though: it leaves a lot of
mess behind. For normal operation this is no problem at all. But in the
unfortunate event that the disk gets faulty and needs to be repaired, it is
a lot easier to recover data if the volume was fully formatted and
initialised, not using the quick option."


By the way . . ..which kind of PSU do you have?

Your system is quite heavy.
