I recently installed a Zip100 drive on my machine (Red Hat Linux 5.2). I just
used INSMODE PPA.O and it worked immediately. I use the following procedure to
format and mount my disks:
1. fdisk /dev/sda
2. d 4 (to delete partition 4)
3. n primary 4 1-96 (to create a new partition 4 using sectors 1-96)
4. w (to write the new partition to disk)
5. mke2fs /dev/sda4 (to format ext2)
6. mount -t ext2 /dev/sda4/ /mnt/zip
I run crontab script every night to back up my critical files to the zip drive
using CPIO -ov > /dev/sda4.
I verify that all of my files were copied successfully using CPIO -it <
/dev/sda4 , and it looks good.
However, each morning before I log in, I see a message like the following:
EXT2-fs error (device 08:04): ext2_find_entry: bad entry in directory #2:
rec_len % 4 != 0 - offset=0,
inode=4134912133, rec_len=60553, name_len=50013
My DMESG looks like this:

appreciated.
