Message-ID: <zotDLyusA.1Mx@netcom.com> Organization: The Museum of Questionable Medical Devices X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL1] Date: Mon, 29 Jan 1996 23:33:46 GMT Lines: 16 Sender: zot@netcom13.netcom.com I'm getting the following message whenever my server boots up: Warning: inode blocks/cyl group (38) >= datablocks (16) in last cylinder group. This implies 256 sectors cannot be allocated. So I understand this means that I must have messed up when partitioning the drive, but this sort of thing wouldn't end up causing the hard drive to freak out and eventually cause hardware failures, would it? I ask this because the drive has subsequently started chirping and losing sectors and the like. Ed -- (zot@netcom.com) "Fate hauls back and laughs his ass off at Truth and Freedom.
