Hi,

I'm getting the following every few days on a relatively new drive:

Oct 23 22:52:28 bigpoop /kernel: ad0s1a: hard error writing fsbn 1839400
of 919700-919701 (ad0s1 bn 1839400; cn 258 tn 42 sn 52) status=61 error=04
Oct 23 22:52:28 bigpoop /kernel: ad0s1a: hard error writing fsbn 1835168
of 917584-917599 (ad0s1 bn 1835168; cn 257 tn 88 sn 41) status=61 error=04
Oct 24 03:09:33 bigpoop /kernel: ad0s1a: hard error writing fsbn 1835104
of 917552-917563 (ad0s1 bn 1835104; cn 257 tn 87 sn 40) status=61 error=04

Is this likely a drive about to die, or a bug being tickled?

Relevant info from boot:

FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE #0: Sun Apr 29 06:20:58 EDT 2001

This is a junker refurb E-Machines box, the drives are a few months old...

Thanks,

CS
