What's wrong? Nothing. You had a surface error which was not recoverable on read (i.e. it was too serious to allow the disk to reconstruct the data), but by recreating the filesystem, you gave the disk a chance to remap the faulty sector, so the error seemingly went away. This is how disks are supposed to work. DES -- Dag-Erling Smorgrav - des@ofug.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
