I was getting these messages along with _long_ disk timeouts--like two minutes or more. And the problem only worsened. In the end, surmising a dying disk, I exchanged the laptop (an IBM 380). I've had the new one for over a week now, and it's not given me a single timeout message or long disk timeout. (Whereas the old one gave me both several times per hour.) So at least for me, the wd0 timeout messages _did_ indicate a bad disk. Seems to me there could be many reasons for the messages other than a bad disk, though. Just a data point... -Brad, karp@eecs.harvard.edu
