Keywords: wd wdc two drives


Yesterday my second disk suddenly got trashed by a fsck.
I was using the wdc0 two drive patch (which makes a controller
wdc0/fdc0 - slightly changing the config syntax for this)

This was the first reboot with a fsck after adding a second disk a few days ago
and promptly my second disk trashed with a 'wd1: no label' or 'bad sector
table corrupt'.

Has anyone gotten similar problems with two IDE drives or knows a safe way to
run two wd drives? 

I have three SCSI based 386BSDs running - no problems. But this two drive problem is killing my last nerves.
