Where is iBrowse installed? To what partition does iBrowse cache all files that come from the web?
There are many philosophies for organizing partitions, some can do much to prevent corruption. The file sysytem you choose is important, too
After suffering the symptoms you describe several times, I assigned all temporary file caches to a cache directory on the ram disk (I have plenty of ram, so do you). With an empty ram disk, pages come up a little slower the first time but repeats come up very fast. Also, my partitions are no longer congested and fragmented with a trillion obsolete net files.
I have 2 drives: the main and a backup. Yam gets it's own partition because of it's nature. There are also partitions for SYS:, APPS: MyFiles:, CDimage:, & SemiTemp:. I have no WORK: partition (nor an assign to one) to give me better control when installing new software.
This has worked flawlessly for me now for years. I still use PFS 2. Just my 2 cents.
BTW: some file systems make it harder to recover a single corrupted partition on a drive that has more than one. PFS 2 has required me to re-format all partitions on a drive because one became corrupted by temporary net files.
It is my belief that some hard drives are so hopelessly corrupted that they appear to have failed. Same result, but steps can be taken to prevent corruption.
