Hey All,
I'm having a vexing problem with FC8 losing connection to one of my
hard drives. I've had it drop out in a matter of a few minutes. This
time it was working for several days before it quit.
I have two drives on my system. One SATA drive has the system
installed on it. The other, plugged into the IDE header has data files
on it. The SATA drive runs fine. The IDE drive will eventually quit
working. I can cd onto the drive as long as I don't try to access
something that is not already in the disk cache. When I try to access
the drive I get this error:

There are two partitions mounted thus:

I've been running Linux for many years on many boxes but I've never
encountered a situation like this. The only way I've found to restore
operation is a to reboot.
Anyone got any clues??

I think the clues are likely to be found in errors in /var/log/messages
or dmesg
Craig
I didn't see much of interest in dmesg output but the /var/log/messages
file is chock full of references to ata3 Here's a snippet from the
start of the kernel messages:
