It could very well be.
I also lost a Seagate Medallist pro a while back. I never was able to
recover it. I could control spin up/down with cam control, but was never
able to straiten out the sector. I could however mount it as /dev/da1,
which I should not have been able to do. It was still under warranty so I
sent it back. This particular episode is in the archives as "File system
lost".
I have another Medallist Pro that is working fine, however it is not
"dangerously dedicated" and these two were. Could this have something to do
with the problem?
Jim
