it is entirely possible that reads work fine, just that writes don't stick. so say a given byte is 0xcf and when you read it, you get 0xcf, but when you write 0x45 to it, it either remains as 0xcf or goes to something whacky like 0x9e or whatever. if S.M.A.R.T. says the disk is dying, get the data off. you did that. good. now get a new disk. -- Please do not CC me when replying to lists; I read them! .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer, admin, and user `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Keyserver problems? http://keyserver.kjsl.com/~jharris/keyserver.html Get my key here: http://people.debian.org/~madduck/gpg/330c4a75.asc
