Sender: owner-hackers@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm having incredibly bad luck w/ hard drives. One of my drives just exhibited the following errors. Fsck also fails on these medium errors. Does this mean my drive is going bad and I should replace it (still under warranty) or will a simple reformat take care of the problem? It's a scsi drive, which I thought took care of bad sector automatically, but I guess not. Note, I get a lot of these medium errors from running fsck and that just last night, everything was fine.
