--d6Gm4EdcadzBjdND Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Morning all,=20 While working last night, my workstation here started acting up (songs play= ing in xmms were pausing like the machine was lagging). Upon looking at th= e console messages of XFree, I saw that I was receiving a large number of m= essages that looked like: ad3: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=3D51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=3D40<UNCORREC TABLE> LBA=3D2572271 Great, a harddrive failure on an 80 gig drive that I had no backup for. =20 The box more or less locked up on me after that, whereupon I did a hard reb= oot. After looking on google a bit, I decided to try a tool someone reccom= ended from sysutils ports called smartmon. That spit out a large number of= errors at me. Okay, so the disk is bad, bum deal. But... After rebooting a second time or so, I'm seeing this error on my console: ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=3D51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=3D40<UNCORREC TABLE> LBA=3D4631543 May 3 09:10:03 woad syslogd: /var/log/cron: Input/output error =20 Crap, now its on the main system drive. Now I might not be entirely saavy,= but I would like to think that I'm not going to have two drives crap out o= n me at one time. The main drive still works fine after that, although con= sole will occasionally spit that error out at me. =20 Can anyone fill me in on what might be the problem? I've rebuild world and= kernel (going from 5.2.1-RELEASE-p3 to 5.2.1-RELEASE-p5), as well as switc= hed out ribbon cables for the drives. The first drive in question (first f= ailure that is), is a Maxtor 80 gig IDE, while the main system drive is a M= axtor 40 gig IDE. The 80 gig is less than a half a year old, while the 40 = gig is a year old (maybe). In case anyone needs the info, the motherboard = is an Asus P4C800-E Deluxe (with the Intel ICH5R/875P chipset). Thanks in advance, and cheers :) Reuben A.
