In the old-style device assignments before devfs it would mean this.... 08 = SCSI drives 0 minor is first, 16 minor is second etc so 08:02 is SCSI drive first, partition 2 -- that is where the sector error is. It is likely permanent. (yes, it is a little-known fact that partitions on a SCSI drive are limited to 15 while on an IDE they are limited to 63 per drive.) Civileme
