A hardware error should have been reported as such. But if you suspect a disk problem, try dd'ing the swap partition (or the whole disk) to /dev/null. If you can read the whole partition, you can probably write to it. (Or you could dd /dev/zero to the partitions whilst swap is not attached - eg in single user after boot). If you suspect retries are a problem, monitor the I/O rate with iostat or systat and see if it suddenly drops. -- Peter Jeremy _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
