Only a few minutes ago I noticed that X11 froze on my FreeBSD box, and I had to manually reboot the thing -- at the same time, the disk seemed to be working and I was a bit scared I would trash my filesystems. However, it came up really nicely, phew! Note that the machine had been happily up for almost 4 days now :-) The funny thing is that a glimpse at /var/log/messages showed this: /kernel: swap_pager: I/O error - pagein failed; blkno 2832, \ size 20480, error 22 /kernel: vm_fault: pager read error, pid 418 (wmaker Should I start worrying that my disk has grown "bad" blocks? Could this be caused by something else, except a faulty disk area? The disk is a Western-Digital 6 Gb IDE one, and the /etc/fstab setup is something like: # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/wd0s1b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/wd0s4b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/wd0s1a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/wd0s2a /mp3 ufs rw 1 2 /dev/wd0s3a /htdocs ufs rw 1 2 proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 /dev/wcd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 With the partitions having the following sizes: /dev/wd0s1 4 Gb /dev/wd0s2 1 Gb /dev/wd0s3 1 Gb -- Giorgos Keramidas, <keramida@ceid.upatras.gr> "What we have to learn to do, we learn by doing."
