Now I get this: /kernel: ad0s1f: hard error reading fsbn 35393727 of 17236032-17236047 (ad0s1 bn 35393727; cn 2203 tn 40 sn 12) status=59 error=40 It is always the same, so I guess there's only a small area damaged. I know the Handbook says to replace the disk (this is a Maxtor 20GB disk), but since is not a production system, just my private Dial-In Server, I am not really looking forward into getting a new disk. Any chance to fix this error? What about badsect? How does this work?
