Date: Sun, 29 Dec 1996 16:25:01 -0800 Organization: University of California, Davis Lines: 35 Message-ID: <32C70BDD.41C6@ucdavis.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: halfdome.engr.ucdavis.edu Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (X11; I; IRIX 5.3 IP20) Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:33347 comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.storage:85770 NOTE: I thought I posted this on the 23 of December, but it never seemes to have appeared on my server (I have messages from Dec. 22, both read and unread). Well, I had my system all re-installed and thought everything was going okay when it crashed and burned again. I had to run "fsck -b 32 ..." and got some interesting errors, like: Following disk sectors could not be read: -2, -1 and then it eventually exits on signal 11 (runs out of memory). I ran bad144 (and re-directed the output to a file) and got: bad block information at sector 2116674 in /dev/rwd1c cartridge serial number:0(10) bt_flag=0(16)? sn=0, cn=0, tn=0, sn=0 sn=0, cn=0, tn=0, sn=0 ..... (above line repeted 126 times) followed by a bunch of copies of the message: bad144: bad sector file contains duplicates (sn0) Any ideas of what is going on here? It is a relatively new WD 1Gig drive (Cavier, 21000). Note: I had already run "bad144 -s -v wd1", and left it to check out the disk, and when I got back, all I saw on the screen was the bad144: bad sector... message. I then ran it with no flags to get the above message. -- - Mike mdwhite@ucdavis.edu
