Date: Mon, 23 Dec 1996 14:18:15 -0800 Organization: University of California, Davis Lines: 30 Message-ID: <32BF0527.2F57@ucdavis.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: mujibur.engr.ucdavis.edu Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (X11; I; HP-UX B.10.01 9000/712) Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:32948 Well, I had my system all re-installed and thought everything was going okay when it crashed and burned again. I had to run "fsck -b 32 ..." and got some interesting errors, like: Following disk sectors could not be read: -2, -1 and then it eventually exits on signal 11 (runs out of memory). I ran bad144 (and re-directed the output to a file) and got: bad block information at sector 2116674 in /dev/rwd1c cartridge serial number:0(10) bt_flag=0(16)? sn=0, cn=0, tn=0, sn=0 sn=0, cn=0, tn=0, sn=0 ..... (above line repeted 126 times) followed by a bunch of copies of the message: bad144: bad sector file contains duplicates (sn0) Any ideas of what is going on here? It is a relatively new WD 1Gig drive (Cavier, 21000 I think is the number). Note: I had already run "bad144 -s -v wd1", and left it to check out the disk, and when I got back, all I saw on the screen was the bad144: bad sector... message. I then ran it with no flags to get the above message. -- - Mike mdwhite@ucdavis.edu
