Hi: I just installed FreeBSD 6.1 on a new Dell desktop that's going to act as a temporary server while I migrate two older servers (4.10-STABLE) over to all new software, the reconfigure it to act as a remote amanda server when that's complete. I've noticed a bunch of these errors in the syslog: Aug 25 11:15:15 testbed kernel: ad0: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=29736031 Aug 25 11:27:09 testbed kernel: ad0: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=12168863 Aug 25 11:30:15 testbed kernel: ad0: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=8026047 Aug 25 11:50:24 testbed kernel: ad0: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=29736031 I did some googling, and found some seem to think it could be a problem with the disk, whereas others think it's nothing. Before I put this thing into production, even if it's only going to be there for a couple of days, I'd like to make sure. Please reply directly, as I am not subscribed. Thanks!
