Filipi-Martin" Reply-To: adrian@virginia.edu To: FreeBSD Questions List Subject: bad sectors? Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi folks, I got a freebe used-disk and put it in my system. Everything worked during the disklabel & newfs parts. Now however, I am having problems with moving the source tree onto the new disk. Yep, I'm using tar. After untaring for a good long while, the kernel consistently panics with the following message: > ahb0: board not responding > Debugger ("aba1742") called. > panic: panic for historical reasons. .... some more of the same.... Could this because by the kernel writing onto a bad sector? "Historical reasons" doesn't give me much to go on. If I do have bad sectors, how do I mark them. bad144 complains about a bad magic pack number and there is no man page. thanks, Adrian adrian@virginia.edu ---->>>>| Support your local programmer, http://uvacs.cs.virginia.edu/~atf3r/ --->>>| STOP Software Patent Abuses NOW!
