[ale] "short read" errors on a HD, huh ?.........

[Courtney Thomas]

Greetings !

In that I want to use the entire drive, how should a 60Gig IDE HD be 
partitioned ?

I am plagued with the following difficulty after creating three 4Gig 
primary partitions and since after that point I understand that I can 
only have 1 more primary partition, I created a logical partition [4 
Gig] and this is where I'm getting the following described errors.

I am getting the following errors under Debian-2.4.6........

	error reading  block # <some #>
	short read while doing inode scan
	ignore y/n ?

What are short reads, what's going on and what should be done to remedy 
all this ?

Appreciatively,
Courtney
