>Description:
Periodically, like every 3-4 days, reports of a "soft disk error" start 
to show up on the console.  These have been repairable using "fsck -p" 
but something is wrong and I don't know what that something is.

I wonder whether this is a known problem or if anyone can give me any 
pointers as to what might be causing it.  This is on a Western Digital 
3.1 gig IDE drive.

Many thanks,

Richard
>How-To-Repeat:
Just wait a few days.
>Fix:
psck -p
