Subject:   Is this a failing HD?
Message-ID:  <199702281907.NAA22738@fly.HiWAAY.net>

The following messages appeared today on one of my FreeBSD systems. Is this
a symptom of a failing HD or was there something broken in -current as of
Feb 5? Wouldn't think -current was broken as this is system was up for over
20 trouble free days.

Sitting in the room I heard a HD spinning up and down and up. Noticed
messages on the console. System seemed ok, so I tried "find / -name junk".
Kernel panic 12 sometime after find moved over to a SCSI drive. Swap is on
the problem drive.

clipped from dmesg:
wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa
wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <Conner Peripherals 510MB -  CP3541>
wd0: 486MB (996912 sectors), 989 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S

I don't believe this is an IDE HD that has a power saving mode. Have
been running FreeBSD on it for a couple of years.

There were several others in the logs but these were the first. Others only
differ in fsbn and bounce between status 50 and 58.
