But this only occurs with nautilus. I just used konqueror to delete
several gig of files from its trashcan, no problem. This disk gets a
regular pounding, and never shows any signs of failure. Only problem
ocrurs with nautilus, with mass deletes from trashcan. Does nautilus
check for errors that would not otherwise be detected ??
