Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Wed, 02 Sep 1998 18:22:54 -0700 From: TS Waterman Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I've been having a number of system crashes lately, and am trying to track down the culprit. The crashes occur without panic, error message, core dump, or any other useful signs, so I've been hunting mercilessly for them... Next culprit -- possible bad disk. The question: can I use bad144 -sv to scan a disk that has a filesystem on it? Or is this a format-time only kind of operation? thanks, --ts To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
