Data error (cyclic redundancy check)

[Kevin Van Workum]

I've been having some mysterious problems when trying to delete some 
files in my cygwin home directory. It might not be a cygwin problem at 
all, maybe hardware. But I thought I'd start here since the problem is 
isolated to my cygwin directory.

It takes about 10-20 seconds for "ls" to print the file list. From a DOS 
prompt "dir" prints the same list, hangs for 5 seconds and says "File 
not found". If I try to "del" a file from the DOS prompt, I get an 
error: "Data error (cyclic redundancy check)". It seems to only happen 
when deleting .* files.

Any ideas? Might this be a hardware problem or related to cygwin?

Kevin.
