I am running a Micropolis Stinger on an Adaptec 2940A SCSI controller. Until recently (I'm assuming within the last day), I have had no complaints. However, I noticed today when my security message came through that there were some hard drive problems...Here is what the error looks like: sd0(ahc0:0:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:0x565d82 asc:1 1,0 Unrecovered read error, FAILURE (It retries beginning with 4 and decrements to the failure). I have done a fsck and was able to handle some of these errors by remapping, but fscks since then just report that a problem does indeed exist. Is there any way that I can take care of this short of doing a newfs? I'd assume that it won't write to the problematic regions since it would timeout, but I'll still have this problem whenever I do an intensive find (or the security script runs). Thank you. -- Mike "I swear - by my life and by my love of it - that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine." --Ayn Rand, _Atlas Shrugged_ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
