9.2.1 possible disk corruption

From Macintouch.com: "I have had some bad experience with Mac OS 9.2.1 and I was wondering if other readers are seeing the same problem. About a week after I upgraded from Mac OS 9.1 to 9.2.1 my blue G3 suddenly crashed in the middle of browsing the web. After a restart the system started complaining that it couldn't read the system folder. Opening the boot volume lead to a series of dozens of messages that the volume was corrupt. I rebooted with my Mac OS 9.1 CD and the corrupt volume didn't even mount. Disk First aid said it couldn't repair the drive. Norton Utilities found several major erros in the B-Tree and corrected them (at least it said so). I backed up all my data, reformatted the drive and installed Mac OS 9.1 and the 9.2.1 update. Two weeks later, exactly the same happened. I did an immediate reset and on reboot Disk First Aid repaired the drive successfully. On an Apple discussion board I hear that other people are seeing spontaneous disk corruption since they upgraded to 9.2.1. I think this is a big problem, as many people will upgrade to 9.2.1 when [installing] Mac OS X 10.1. So I wonder if Apple is aware of the problem.

I threw out some lines in another forum.......I'll see if we get any bites with regard to this problem. If there are any known problems, I'll know in a few hours.....

I think I might have read that 9.2.1 was only for G4s - I have 9.2.1 on a G4 733 no OSX and had no problems. I think the MAC site has info. Regards Peter
