Hi,

I'm seeing the following messages in /var/log/messages and am
concerned about the integrity of the hard drive:

> ad0: WRITE command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting
> cd9660: RockRidge Extension
> ad0: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting
> ad0: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting
> ad0: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting
> cd9660: RockRidge Extension
> ad0: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting
> cd9660: RockRidge Extension
> ad0: WRITE command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting
> ad0: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting
> ata0: resetting devices .. done
> ad0: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting
> ata0: resetting devices .. done
> swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: device: #ad/0x20001, blkno: 5488, size: 4096
> ad0: WRITE command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting

Are the ad0 messages showing the hard drive is having hardware problems?

Many thanks,
Robert
