Once in a while I get messages telling me that a certain file on my system has bad data. Most of the time I don't use those files so I erase them. Is there a way for me to check if my hard disk is the problem or my controller or maybe FreeBSD itself. I've checked the ports collection and did not find anything that seemed suitable. ___________________________ ________________________/ Technologies Miranda Inc. \ / Marie-Josee Blais \ TEL:(514)333-1772 | | mjblais@miranda.com | FAX:(514)333-9828 | | |___________________________/ | Network Administrator | | Administratrice Reseau | \________________________/
