Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk During a make world on a 2.1.6 machine (on it's way to being 2.1.7, that's what the make world was for) I came across these messages in the log: Feb 11 20:09:31 www /kernel: sd0(bt0:0:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:94032 asc:11,0 Unrecovered read error Feb 11 20:09:34 www /kernel: sd0(bt0:0:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:94032 asc:11,0 Unrecovered read error Feb 11 20:09:34 www /kernel: sd0(bt0:0:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:94032 asc:11,0 Unrecovered read error Going through all of the archived logs, this is the only other error I came up with, and it's a seperate drive: /var/log/messages.0:Feb 5 20:25:07 www /kernel: sd1(bt0:1:0): RECOVERED ERROR info:192040 asc:2,0 No seek complete There were a few hundred instances of the error on sd0, all during the make world. None before or after. I understand that such a huge compile is a nice way to stress-test the system, but I'm curious whether it's actually something to worry about. This machine does about 2G/transfer a day and has been totally trouble-free (it's a dedicated web server for a client, sort of a colocation with us taking care of the SA stuff). Any info is appreciated, following is some relevant stuff from dmesg...
