Forgive my top post <very lazy> SMART tools are in ports /usr/ports/sysutils/smartmontools I would also try going into single user mode and running fsck on the drive. If that presents unrepairable errors then try low level tools from your drive's manufacturer. I have brought many of drives back long enough to retrieve the data off of them. I don't recommend using the drives for any more then target practice after that. <I have been burned too many times> lol On Thu, 2005-04-14 at 09:31 -0700, ALeine wrote: > security@revolutionsp.com wrote: > > > /kernel: ad0: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting > > > > Could this message mean this disk is giving its last breaths ? > > Check to see if some part of the system is not overheating due to > a failed fan somewhere.
