Hello all!

Im running FreeBSD 1.02 (no time to upgrade yet!)

I got the following error message on my screen when I came into the office

error 5 blkno 544 sz 4096 swap_pager_finish: clean of page 426000 failed

The numbers (except 5 and 4096) were constantly changing.

There were 1000's of these scrolling past every five mins, and
the machine was not given any information out (but connections to ports
etc were still being made, but just hung after that).

Could this indicate a bad sector on the SCSI disk? (its a 2.2 G Conner,
with 1542cf Adaptec card). Somewhere in the swap space?

Any help/thoughts greatly appreciated.

M
