Back up those HD right now before you lose all the data and then replace them with new ones. There is nothing you can do with them in FreeBSD. Check the HD mfg web site for daig program which runs under ms/dos. But in most cases this daig program will just confirm HD has bad sectors and tell you to replace the bad HD with new one. Check mfg product warrantee, if HD is less than 3 years old mfg will swap your bad HD for new one. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Martin Kruse Jensen Sent: Monday, May 23, 2005 1:22 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Disk problems Hi I'm having some problems with my FreeBSD 5.3 server, running on an AMD using IDE disks. The disk is having some problems: # dmesg ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA timed out ad0: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (2 retries left) LBA=18986207 ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA timed out ad0: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (2 retries left) LBA=18986335 ...cut... ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA timed out ad0: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (2 retries left) LBA=18973151 I'm suspecting some bad blocks, but how do i test for them, and mark them bad? I'm extremely new in FreeBSD so be gentle ;o) -- Sincerely yours Martin Kruse Jensen PixelPoint
