Because all 3 drives in the system have been giving periodic strange errors. This just started happening yesterday out of the blue, and this appears to be the worst so far. The drive itself isn't very old, and has performed well. I hope it's not the drive, but I do have current backups anyway, just to be safe. -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Sheldon Hearn [SMTP:sheldonh@uunet.co.za] > Sent: Monday, October 18, 1999 10:01 AM > To: C J Michaels > Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: HD errors, what do they mean? > > > > On Mon, 18 Oct 1999 09:25:30 -0400, "Christopher J.
