Still....... I ran the novell disk test last night (and tonight it took 18 hours) and it DIDN'T find any problems. I have tried various other geometries but received the same effect, I have also low-level formatted a couple of times for good measure !!!! I also tried making the FBSD partition about 50MB smaller ... The messages I get are as follows : sd0(aha0:0:0): HARDWARE FAILURE asc: 44,a2, FAILURE sd0(aha0:0:0): HARDWARE FAILURE asc: 44,a2, Retries = x sd0(aha0:0:0): HARDWARE FAILURE info: 2d18 asc 15,1 Mechanical positioning error sks(80,f) sd0(aha0:0:0): HARDWARE FAILURE info: 1d70 asc 15,1 Mechanical positioning error sks(80,f) vm_page : pager input (probably hardware) error, PID 11 failure Quite worrying messages but what exactly do they mean ????? I always get worried when a machine shouts HARDWARE FAILURE...... Cheers Phil (seeming not to get any further, sob......)
