Hi again, Okay, so I ran fsck on the disk and it said that it had errors. So I "corrected" them all and everything was fine. However, now I'm getting a different message that seems related to this problem. I have a set of images on this device that I'm trying to encode into a movie. So I run my program on it, which simply reads in an image then adds it to the video file etc... This is a very large list of images, about 23000 images. Now, for some reason it works fine up to a point then dies with a bus error. I check the dmesg log and low and behold I get the following message: attempt to access beyond end of device 09:00: rw=0, want=707399196, limit=488396800 Weird. I try using display on that file and sometimes it dies and sometimes it doesn't. Very unpredictable. Why would the system 'think' that I'm trying to access outside of my disk when the file exists and is the correct size? Any ideas?
