Re: Repository wrecked again (using _local_ disk!)

The bluescreen is strongly indicative of a driver or hardware
problem...applications are not generally able to cause them (aside from
stressing or using a flawed driver or hardware device). This could also
explain the repository problems if the hardware or driver is not
functioning correctly...can you try moving it to a normal hard disk for
a while to see how it goes?

You might ask on the TSVN list if others have seen the failed rename
problem, but I have seen that occasionally just from Explorer + WinZip
shell extensions installed. I'm not sure if I've seen it with a vanilla
Explorer, but it would not surprise me at all.
