Dear All,

A few days ago, I started receiving "MEDIUM ERROR"s from my FreeBSD 3.3
machine (HP Netserver less than 1 year old). I have searhed through the
archives/FAQs but I could not locate enough information to understand if the
drive is dying (and should be replaced immediately) or if this is a
situation that you may recover gracefully from. Furthermore, I am having
trouble decoding the SCSI errors... 

I would really appreciate any information/help on the subject.

Thanks in advance,

Kostis Dryllerakis (kd@belgacom.net)
