Alex, You can try this.
Add the disk back to the boot list. To do that, enter shell as root and run this command: [EMAIL PROTECTED] sysctl -w machdep.bootdevs=pcmcia-flash,compact-flash,disk,lan Reboot and you should see the disk detected in the dmesg log. Then run the smartd test. Go to root and execute the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED] smartd -oe /dev/ad1 << enable smartd [EMAIL PROTECTED] smartd -oX /dev/ad1 << runs the test, wait for it to complete [EMAIL PROTECTED] smartd -oa /dev/ad1 << prints out the results The result should be sent out to JTAC for them to issue the RMA should the disk proved to be faulty. If there's no problem, then you probably had a false alarm. Happened to us quite a number of times. Had the RE replaced just once, can't be certain if the false alarms can be attributed to specific RE line. /ihsan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alexander Serkin Sent: Wednesday, April 04, 2007 2:48 PM To: juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net Subject: [j-nsp] M7i hard disk hint needed Hi, Recently our m7i lost its hard disk - it is present in setup, but while booting the device is not detected: Automatic reboot in progress... /dev/ad0s1a: FILESYSTEM CLEAN; SKIPPING CHECKS /dev/ad0s1a: clean, 393048 free /dev/ad0s1e: FILESYSTEM CLEAN; SKIPPING CHECKS /dev/ad0s1e: clean, 49144 free (48 frags, 49125 blocks, 0.0% fragmentation) (8 frags, 6142 blocks, 0.0% fragmentation) (48 frags, 49125 blocks, 0.0% fragmentation) mfs: /dev/ad1s1b: Device not configured /dev/ad1s1f: CAN'T CHECK FILE SYSTEM. /dev/ad1s1f: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
