Thank you very much for the pointer. I had never heard of this before but it is definitely going on it the future.. It confirms that the disc has 39 bad blocks so now I am reading the faq to figure out how to deal with this. :) > Back up everything... As stated in the original post I am trying to. But when I try to copy everything to an external harddrive after some time the external harddrive is disconnected. I am not sure if this is a separate issue or if it happens as a result of too many errors on my system disk. Anyway I have backed up everything that cannot be replaced so first I will deal with the bad blocks and then if the problem remains I will probably tar everything up to my server via ssh.. > > PS. This mail is signed. Can anyone verify the signature? [...] Thanks to you and Boyd for your replies on this too. From Boyd's post I am guessing that it works as well as it can work and from yours I am guessing that it needs some more configuration than you have done. Not sure though.. -- Bo Andresen
