Fair enough, but you might have mentioned that in your post. The original poster has no way of knowing that you are referring to an issue on a different box. The interactions between drivers and images cause different issues on different boxes, usually. There is a pattern of disk-related problems on Quad and Quad Plus boxes since release 025 of ViX which is when new linux kernel code and drivers were implemented. There have been no similar issues reported on the Miraclebox Premium Twin or other makes so far so this may well be a completely different issue. I'm just trying to ensure that the fault diagnosis is as clear as possible.
