I have recently been receiving the following message ad0: Hard Read Error blk# 2845389 Status=59 Error=10. I receive this message for other block#'s as well. I did a brief search of the archive and didn't find a useful answer. Is this an indicator that the hard drive (a Fireball 3.2GB IDE drive) is shot ? Or am I experiencing another problem ? I was going to drop in a new IDE drive, but thought I'd ask if this problem was not related to hardware. thanks in advance, -- Darryl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
