Do these detailed errors help at all? >=20 > A little. They tell me that the drive is flaky. I'd expect to see > the error messages in /var/log/messages, though. Right. I've just written a full-blown reply to this message but on the very last thing I did some looking into dd. After some searching I found somebody that said: ``One must specify conv=3Dnoerror,sync when copying raw disks with bad sectors to ensure dd stays synchronized'' I'm feeling sheepish now. I've only used conv=3Dnoerror. This would probably explain something (i.e. I can read the config from the disk because it's synched at the beginning). I'm going to re-dd the disk on Monday (I'm away for the weekend). I'll tell you how I get on then. Thanks again for all the help, -lewiz. --=20 I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. --Bob Dylan, 1964. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -| msn:purple@lewiz.net | jabber:lewiz@jabber.org | url:www.lewiz.org |- --ew6BAiZeqk4r7MaW Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFAW47uItq0KFQv7T8RAtSZAKCJQUQUq+qVn0uFqGliksHaD1vgmACg0zn6 BkqhZwdbwEx2VDPosHSxRAs= =Ugrm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --ew6BAiZeqk4r7MaW--
