ARG!!! Sometimes for no reason linux will return this error:

   inode bit already free
   or inode bit cleared

and it will repeat this five or six times then wipe out the partition
on the scsi drive. It's getting real frustrating because everytime I
get something installed linux wipes out that partition for me :-)

My setup is as follows:

        magitronic 386dx/40
        two st296n scsi drives controlled by an st02
        two st225 mfm drives controlled by a WD1003-wah
        16 meg ram, tseng lab card (et4000)
        generic serial card

This thing only happens to my scsi drives. I've got two partitions on
each drive and the second st225 drive is a linux only drive from which
I mount the scsi partitions onto.

If anyone has ever seen this please e-mail me the solution as I dont have
time to read through the hundreds of posts that go through this group.
