The following is from /var/log/messages: Aug 3 03:30:59 wax /kernel: wd1s1f: hard error reading fsbn 630755 of 630752-63 0767 (wd1s1 bn 835555; cn 828 tn 14 sn 49)wd1: status 59 error 40 Aug 3 03:31:28 wax /kernel: wd1s1f: hard error reading fsbn 630755 of 630752-63 0767 (wd1s1 bn 835555; cn 828 tn 14 sn 49)wd1: status 59 error 40 I get dozens of these when /etc/daily runs and they happen during the day as well, usually causing the disk access ligth to remain on for a couple minutes at a time and basically locking up the console X session I'm using for that period (I can telnet in fine and with minimal lag, top shows the machine as being mostly idle). Any suggestions or clarifications on what the problem is and how to remedy it (I already tried fscking the disk). -Amir
