A disk on one of my machines that run SunOS was showing a frequent
error:
Feb 24 15:04:26 samba vmunix: sd16f: Error for command 'read(10)'
Feb 24 15:04:26 samba vmunix: sd16f: Error Level: Retryable
Feb 24 15:04:26 samba vmunix: sd16f: Block 2032880, Absolute Block: 6717879
Feb 24 15:04:26 samba vmunix: sd16f: Sense Key: Media Error
Feb 24 15:04:26 samba vmunix: sd16f: Vendor 'SEAGATE' error code: 0x11
I put the machine into single-user mode, unmounted the filesystem on
that disk, invoked the format command, selected that disk, gave the
'repair' command, and when asked for the block number, I typed 6717879.
It said the block had been repaired. I exited the format utility and
went back into multiuser mode.
My questions for the FreeBSD experts:
- How does SunOS do it?
- Could FreeBSD do it too?
