Hello,

I am not sure if this message got through the first time... If it did,
then I'm sorry for the repost... :


>Hi,

>I am _still_ struggling with this upgrade...

>I went to http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/diskformat/ and neither of
>the /stand/sysinstall methods (dedicated and not) worked. Nor did I get
>any telling error messages, all it said was:

>Can't mount /dev/wd1e on /usr1: Invalid argument

>Then I did it commandline, and during the newfs, it died with this:

>wd1c: hard error writing fsbn 5309072 of 5309072-5309087 (wd1 bn

>4<abort>
>write error:5309072
>wtfs: Input/Output error


>So, my question is: is this a hardware problem? The disk is WD Caviar

Thanks again,

Roman
