Date: 16 Oct 1996 19:53:53 GMT Organization: Biotrin International Lines: 35 Message-ID: <543egh$pi1@niamh.indigo.ie> NNTP-Posting-Host: pc35.biotrin.ie Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 We use a machine running FreeBsd 2.0 as our mail gateway. It has recently started throwing up more and more error messages. I don't know if it is a Hard Disk or Controller problem or if it is at all fixable. Here is a sample from the /var/log/messages file.... Sep 30 09:47:24 gate kernel: wd0: wdunwedge failed: Sep 30 09:47:25 gate kernel: wd0: status 7e<rdy,wrtflt,seekdone,drq,ecc_cor,index> error 7f<uncorr,id_crc,no_id,abort,tr000,no_dam> Sep 30 09:47:25 gate kernel: wd0e: wdstart: timeout waiting to give command writing fsbn 42416 of 42416-42417 (wd0 bn 173488; cn 285 tn 5 sn 18)wd0: status 80<busy> error 7f<uncorr,id_crc,no_id,abort,tr000,no_dam> Sep 30 09:47:25 gate kernel: wd0: wdunwedge failed: Sep 30 09:47:25 gate kernel: wd0: status 7e<rdy,wrtflt,seekdone,drq,ecc_cor,index> error 7f<uncorr,id_crc,no_id,abort,tr000,no_dam> Sep 30 09:47:25 gate kernel: wd0e: wdstart: timeout waiting to give command writing fsbn 42416 of 42416-42417 (wd0 bn 173488; cn 285 tn 5 sn 18)wd0: status 80<busy> error 7f<uncorr,id_crc,no_id,abort,tr000,no_dam> Can anybody help me out and tell me what all this means ? Is there any tool I can download to fix the problem or has the hardware just seen it's last days ? This would be really appreciated. Many Thanks Barney Henry
