Hi,
I'm using RC5 and my old 340 meg microdrive to compile some stuff. If i switch off during compile it doesn't like it... when i switch it back on again there's trouble. The current process will exit, i won't be able to see /mnt/cf... when i do a ls there it just hangs. If i eject and reinsert the microdrive then it won't see it...
I have to reboot to recover.... I have formatted the cf as ext2, maybe that is causing the problem? If i'm very careful to make sure that nothing is accessing the microdrive when i call a suspend then it seems to come back on okay... I don't recall any such problems with my 1 gig CF Flash.
