Ubuntu keeps stuffing up my 1TB

[Peder]

Since i got my 1TB ubuntu was not very fond of it for some or other strange reason...

IT wouldn't format it to a windows FS at first but now i have had it for a few months and i am having problems. The other day it just lost its FS for no apparent reason then i fiddled with it and suddenly it came back for no apparent reason...

Does ubuntu have issues with the drive? or am i just darn stupid?

Well it keeps killing my ktorrent too so i don't know if that has something to do with it.

Then also is there a gui way of doing error checks cause from what i can see its errors causing this crap...

hey peder

what file system is the 1Tb formatted in? If it's NTFS, then it might be that - try formatting it as ext3 and see if that helps.

 

[Peder]

it is formatted as ext3 that what bothers me... i thought ok it will be stable but suddenly its just playing around...

I never planned to use that 1tb outside of the server so i had no problem using the ext3 fs although i did at first try to use the ntfs fs...

Strange... you sure it's not the physical hardware?

Strange... you sure it's not the physical hardware?

it is a BRAND new drive... its not more than 6 months old...

and its the only drive causing problems... well i don't have a TB to compare it to but the rest of my drives are working well.

it seems to be doing i filesystem check now and found some problems, lets hope it fixes it.

It is still possible that a brand new hard drive is at fault here. Sometimes stock are faulty, or you just got one bad one in the batch which sometimes happen.

I have 3 1TB drives at home and they work just fine in linux. In fact I use them in both Windows and Linux via NTFS and I have yet to experience problems.

the thing is mine is either a WD black or WD Green can't remember but i think it was the black...

It seems after running e2fsck it works... i'll just have to run error checking more often...
