The disk is failing. Smartmontools, which is a great package, will only tell you want you already know, that the disk is failing. I would copy every thing important off that disk _NOW_ then go and get a replacement disk TODAY. It's possible that the disk may spin for another 2 months or it might burst into flames in the next 20 minutes. Either way the disk is telling you, "I'm sick".=20 Also, what ever you do, do not power down that machine until you have copied off the data. When you power cycle machines with disk in this state there is a very good chance the disk will not spin back up. I see this all the time at my job.=20 Good Luck Josef --=20 Josef Grosch | Another day closer to a | FreeBSD 6.3 jgrosch@MooseRiver.com | Micro$oft free world | Berkeley, Ca. --wRRV7LY7NUeQGEoC Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQFHo6OVy8prLS1GYSERAjG4AKC5D3bLoy0ajl7m0O+QptDWv6843ACcDJHa 587JnyuytmHH5DKCymWZ29s= =fPRi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --wRRV7LY7NUeQGEoC--
