I recently built a FreeBSD 4.7 Release file server that has a brand new 80GB Wester Digital 7200RPM drive in it. Yesterday the box suffered two power outages and a possible powersurge.
Today I decided that it would be a good idea to check on the state of the file system and the result is attached below. I was unable to clean the file system. I've got just two questions that hopefully someone can help with: 1) What does the result below mean? (Is my drive failing? Why can't I clean the FS?) 2) Are there any BSD tools for reading the SMART data off the Hard Disk so that I can see whether it is about to fail or currently experiencing HW failure.
