I am having recurring messages, which I believe may be because of bad
sectors on my hard disk. The messages look like this:
Mar 2 12:31:12 trawna /kernel: wd0s3b: soft ecc reading fsbn 17218 of
17216-17231 (wd0s3 bn 17218; cn 38 tn 12 sn 14)wd0: status 5c<seekdone,
drq,ecc_cor> error 0
I get these for both my user partition (shown) and the root partition.
I've got a 330Mb ESDI drive.
What should I be doing to clear this up? I can't find anything in the
man pages that helps; bad144 looked close, but doesn't quite do it for me.
