Path: sserve!manuel!munnari.oz.au!uunet!mcsun!Germany.EU.net!bs From: bs@Germany.EU.net (Bernard Steiner) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd Subject: getting disk error messages Date: 10 Aug 1992 10:01:32 GMT Organization: EUnet Backbone, Dortmund, Germany Lines: 22 Distribution: world Message-ID: <165epsINN6an@disaster.Germany.EU.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: walhalla.germany.eu.net Folks, I've looked through a bit of the wd code. It looks to me like there's some sort of flag telling the kernel whether or not to complain about hard/soft errors. Is there some sort of mysterious flag for disklabel to enable this ? Ok, so I hacked around it by putting some diskerror()'s in wd.c, but I'd like my kernel to do it the way it's supposed to be done. (Yes, I'm running ESDI drives.) (Yes, that's right: I *do* want to see those messages. How else am I supposed to run bad144 ?!)
