Here is a relevant part from my dmesg, from a 4.3-STABLE system last updated about a week ago: atapci0: <Intel PIIX4 ATA33 controller> port 0xf000-0xf00f at device 7.1 on pci0 ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0 ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0 ad0: 12416MB <QUANTUM FIREBALLlct08 13> [25228/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA33 ad2: 4125MB <FUJITSU MPC3043AT> [8940/15/63] at ata1-master UDMA33 acd0: CDROM <CRD-8483B> at ata1-slave using PIO4 Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a ad0: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting ata0: resetting devices .. done I was to right in front of the machine at the time the last two messages happened, and I heard a strange noise - it sounded like the hard drive taking a shock or like its power being cut off for a second, because, apart from the hit, I heard the thing spin up again. The system was not idle, as I had been running X and netscape a few minutes before - both reside on ad0, so power saving is not an issue. Anyone have any ideas what could have caused this? Can a disk head crash sound like that? How soon should I hurry and get a new hdd? I am going to check the power cables first, as I have had problems with those on a different system where the CD drive would not work at random times.
