Does the disk make ugly "clunk" noises before you get this message? We tend to time out on IDE disks before they've finished trying to handle a hard error. Put the disk in another system, dd over it (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ wd1) and then try again. It may have an unrecoverable read error, in which case this should let it reallocate the block and move on. The disk may also be completely stuffed, in which case you should return it. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
