Hi,

Can anyone explain to me what these error messages should be telling
me? (or possibly point me to a man page)

sd2(ahc1:0:0) RECOVERED ERROR info:6542dc asc:17,2 Recovered data with
positive head offset sks:80,2

sd2(ahc1:0:0) RECOVERED ERROR info:569e47 asc:17,1 Recovered data with
retries sks:80,1
,retries:3

The system componentry is: P166, FreeBSD 2.1, Adaptec 3940
dual-channel PCI, 3 2.7 gb drives

I'm guessing they mean some gremlins crawled up from the floorboards
and infested sd2, but I could be wrong.  (read bad disk for the
non-creative ;-)

Similar errors seem to happen every 15 min or so, with the asc:
portion varying between 17,1 and 17,2 and the sks: part switching
between 80,1 and 80,2.
