Netatalk crashes HD?

[Åke Svensson]

Hi!

I have a 7600 with YDL 2.0, kernel 2.4.17 and Netatalk 1.5.3. My harddisk
crashes after transferring files via Appletalk.

My question is if upgrading to Netatalk 1.5.5 and using this compilation
alternative will solve the problem?

--with-did=[scheme]: set DID scheme (last,mtab,cnid),
    The last DID scheme recreates version 37b behaviour where
    directory id's are incrementally calculated versus the new
    hash method. Unfortunately for machines that have a lot of
    devices, and/or a lot of inodes the hash can fail with
    multiple directories resolving to the same DID.

I would try the scheme 'last'

I must confess that I don't really understand what it means, but I do know
that my inodes get trashed repeatedly and forces me to run fsck. Appletalk
also goes very very slow.

Otherwise any other Netatalk clues to the crashing HD ?
