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.

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)
