My OS4.1 rig, after installing the update the hard drive light just never goes off? It's constantly flickering?

What's going on?

Perhaps one of your partitions is validating? Have you tried the "info" command in the shell? That'll tell you. If it is, then leave it until it finishes before shutting down again.

Finally, another vote for SFS here too. Not tried JXFS yet, I might convert one a spare partition on mine to that to see what it is like.

It's been validating all weekend, somethings the matter...


Ok, then your best bet is to read all the files from the partition that has the problem onto a different one and then reformat the bad partition and restore the files.

If you are going to reformat it, it might be a good idea to change the filesystem too.
