I ran Seagate's diag utility and it reported only 1 bad block. Unfortunately ad0s1a happens to my / dir so allowing the utility to write zeros to that block hasn't sat well with me. Sooo - if some one could explain the exact meaning of my error message & point me in the right direction to use these values to fix my disk problem I'd greatly appreciate it (with many many many thanks in advance :) ) fsbn 141935 of 70848 - 71103 ? ad0s1 bn 141935 ? cn 8 ? tn 212 ? sn 59 ? status = 59 ? error = 40 ?
