Reset the partition by running 'newfs' on it. Now I'd like to restore the dd copy somewhere, anywhere, to get some files out of it. When I try to restore it I get the mess below after its' been running a while. Is it a disk, controller or other problem? I'm guessing there's a speed syncing issue, but don't know. Help or suggestions to try would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance!! -Brian [106]islandman:/s1e# dd if=/s1e/usr of=/dev/ad3s1f bs=512 Jul 11 15:10:57 islandman /kernel: ad3: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting Jul 11 15:10:57 islandman /kernel: ad3: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting Jul 11 15:10:57 islandman /kernel: ata1: resetting devices .. done Jul 11 15:10:57 islandman /kernel: ata1: resetting devices .. done Jul 11 15:14:49 islandman /kernel: atus, reselecting device Jul 11 15:14:49 islandman /kernel: atus, reselecting device Jul 11 15:14:49 islandman /kernel: ata1-slave: no status, reselecting device Jul 11 15:14:49 islandman /kernel: ata1-slave: no status, reselecting device Jul 11 15:14:49 islandman last message repeated 775 times Jul 11 15:14:49 islandman /kernel: ata1-slave: timeout waiting to give command=c8 s=ff e=ff Jul 11 15:14:49 islandman last message repeated 775 times Jul 11 15:14:49 islandman /kernel: ata1-slave: timeout waiting to give command=c8 s=ff e=ff Jul 11 15:14:49 islandman /kernel: ad3: error executing command - resetting Jul 11 15:14:49 islandman /kernel: ad3: error executing command - resetting Jul 11 15:14:49 islandman /kernel: ata1: resetting devices .. done Jul 11 15:14:49 islandman /kernel: ata1: resetting devices .. done -- | Brian D.
