Although your comment here is right, i was indeed questioning about the SATA disks, Justin did make me realise i forgot to check SMART status with smartctl. It turns out sdb is a bit dodgy. It aparently had a read error earlier, and during the 'long' SMART test just now, it also failed. But this still amazes me, as i ran 'mke2fs -c -c' on the disk AND copied about 95% of the disks capacity to it with no corruption or errors at all. I don't know if i completely understood your comments about user buffers. I can hardly believe the buffer to change it's contents before actually being written to disk? Or did i misunderstand?
