  I know this issue has come up before. I'm getting hard read errors,
both in 4.1.1 and 4.2. However, it seems there are alot less of them
in 4.2
  I have noticed that now, it basically only occurs during one of the
2am daily periodic scripts. I don't know which one is triggering this
error, I suspect it would be the updateing of the locate database.

However, each morning I have about 12 error messages, and over 90%
of them are:

ad0: HARD READ ERROR blk# 14484670 status=59 error=40

  Can anyone tell me if there is away to work out which file is sitting
on this block? And also what do the status and error numbers indicate?

  Thanks a lot!
  Geoff
