I have a large ( 700Mbyte ) scsi hard drive hooked up to
my amiga 3000. Funny - If the slightest thing goes wrong - ie. a guru
- my harddrive will develop errors. Once I got a 'unvalidated disk' error.
Another time, the system would just crash. 

Is this normal Amiga behavour? I expect that the system would not eat 
my harddisk, even  if it had a software error while writing to the disk. It 
should ( i would expect ) give me an error concerning that file that was 
being written to, but not a complete partition error!

Is there a magic solution for the unvalidatable error? Or is there a way to
add layers of 'safety' to my data? Do others have this problem? 

Thanks, all


Paulc
