Only a few minutes ago I noticed that X11 froze on my FreeBSD box, and I had
to manually reboot the thing -- at the same time, the disk seemed to be
working and I was a bit scared I would trash my filesystems. However, it came
up really nicely, phew!
Note that the machine had been happily up for almost 4 days now :-)
The funny thing is that a glimpse at /var/log/messages showed this:
/kernel: swap_pager: I/O error - pagein failed; blkno 2832, \
size 20480, error 22
/kernel: vm_fault: pager read error, pid 418 (wmaker
Should I start worrying that my disk has grown "bad" blocks? Could this be
caused by something else, except a faulty disk area?
The disk is a Western-Digital 6 Gb IDE one, and the /etc/fstab setup is
something like:
# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass#
/dev/wd0s1b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/wd0s4b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/wd0s1a / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/wd0s2a /mp3 ufs rw 1 2
/dev/wd0s3a /htdocs ufs rw 1 2
proc /proc procfs rw 0 0
/dev/wcd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
With the partitions having the following sizes:
/dev/wd0s1 4 Gb
/dev/wd0s2 1 Gb
/dev/wd0s3 1 Gb
