(or possibly point me to a man page) sd2(ahc1:0:0) RECOVERED ERROR info:6542dc asc:17,2 Recovered data with positive head offset sks:80,2 sd2(ahc1:0:0) RECOVERED ERROR info:569e47 asc:17,1 Recovered data with retries sks:80,1 ,retries:3 The system componentry is: P166, FreeBSD 2.1, Adaptec 3940 dual-channel PCI, 3 2.7 gb drives I'm guessing they mean some gremlins crawled up from the floorboards and infested sd2, but I could be wrong. (read bad disk for the non-creative ;-) Similar errors seem to happen every 15 min or so, with the asc: portion varying between 17,1 and 17,2 and the sks: part switching between 80,1 and 80,2. Russ
