GEOM: mirroring and journaling

[Joey Mingrone]

Hello,

I'm attempting to set up a storage server with mirrored and journaled
filesystems.  Initially I did the following:

sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=17
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad8 bs=1k count=1
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad10 bs=1k count=1
gmirror label -vb round-robin gm0 /dev/ad8
gmirror load
gjournal label /dev/mirror/gm0
gjournal load
newfs -O 2 -J /dev/mirror/gm0.journal
mount /dev/mirror/gm0.journal /mnt/mirror2
gmirror insert gm0 /dev/ad10

,but I read in the archives there are potential issues with the
labelling.  Does anyone have any suggestions (or references to
documentation) describing how this could be done?

Are the GEOM parts for doing this sufficiently mature to consider this
safe?  This did seem to be working, but when I did a dump I got kernel
panics like others who have posted recently.

Thanks.

Yup, that was intentional.  I have no use for capslock.

I guess the key point that I should have mentioned is that this all
worked for years.  Without any changes to my ~/.Xmodmap it just
stopped working after upgrading to Xorg-7.5.

Thanks for your response.  I'll starting digging and see what I can
come up with.

Cheers,

.Xmodmap problems after upgrading to Xorg 7.5

[Joey Mingrone]

Hi,

My .Xmodmap is included below.  When I run

%xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap

the output is:

xmodmap:  .Xmodmap:13:  bad keysym in remove modifier list
'Caps_Lock', no corresponding keycodes
xmodmap:  .Xmodmap:14:  bad keysym target keysym 'Caps_Lock', no
corresponding keycodes
xmodmap:  .Xmodmap:18:  bad keysym target keysym 'apostrophe', no
corresponding keycodes
xmodmap:  .Xmodmap:26:  bad keysym target keysym 'semicolon', no
corresponding keycodes
xmodmap:  4 errors encountered, aborting.

/usr/local/include/X11/keysymdef.h still shows these keysyms.

Does anyone know why the keysyms aren't mapping to the keycodes?

TIA,

Joey Mingrone

saving job state over a power outage

[Joey Mingrone]

Hello,

Our lab has a cluster (Sun Fire X40z master node, Opteron 270 and
generic 2.0 GHz Opteron based compute nodes) running 8.0-RELEASE.
We've been informed that the power has to be turned off for the
weekend, but one of the lab members has been running some jobs since
December.  I don't know much about the jobs, i.e., if they can be
restarted without losing all the computing work that's been done so
far.

Can anyone suggest a way to save the state of the jobs so they can
continue when the power comes back on?  From experience, ACPI seems
flaky if it will work at all because of problems with BIOS
implementations.  Also, iirc ACPI has issues with SMP kernels.  Is
there something similar to software suspend found in Linux?  Does
anyone have any other suggestions to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance,

Joey Mingrone

Sun Grid Engine: occasional job submission errors

[Joey Mingrone]

We are using Freebsd 8.0 / sge-6.2.2.1_1on a computing cluster
(http://awarnach.mathstat.dal.ca/).  It's been working well, however
we see the error below when a lot of jobs are submitted in a short
time (e.g. in a loop on the command line) using
"qsub".

error: commlib error: can't connect to service (Address already in

Has anyone seen this problem before and found a solution?

Thanks guys.

Tim, that did the trick.  I followed that sequence with the livefs cd, then did:

# mount /dev/mirror/gm0s1a /temp/; mount /dev/mirror/gm0s1f
/temp/tempusr/ and copied /temp/tempusr/boot to /temp/ (minus
kernel.old so it would fit) and the system boots again.

Right.  It is raid1.

fixit and gmirror

[Joey Mingrone]

Hello:

I was upgrading a system from 7.2 to 8.0 and all was going well until
the make installkernel step.  The / partition filled up when the new
kernel was installing.  Since /boot was taking up most of the space I
moved /boot to /usr/ and create a symlink in / then I did make
installkernel again and everything completed.  Unfortunately I didn't
move the necessary bits from /usr/boot back to / before rebooting and
now the system won't boot.  I'm trying to use the fixit option with
the livefs cd to repair the system, but I'm having problems with
gmirror.  The disks are in software raid0.  Can anyone point me in the
right direction to get /usr and / mounted from the mirror using fixit?

Thanks,

clipboard manager

[Joey Mingrone]

Hello,

For those of you out there running a simple window manager, I was
wondering if you had any recommendations about clipboard managers?
The one thing I miss from KDE is klipper, but to use it, you
unfortunately have to install all of KDE and its dependencies.
Glipper requires a lot of dependencies as well.

I came across parcellite, which seems promising.

"Parcellite is a lightweight GTK+ clipboard manager. This is a stripped down,
basic-features-only clipboard manager with a small memory footprint for those
who like simplicity."

Sounds great, but it won't compile on FreeBSD.  Not without some work anyway.

Suggestions?

Thanks,

duplicate a drive

[Joey Mingrone]

Hi,

My laptop "died" recently and to get back to work as quickly as
possible I simply took the laptop ide drive and put it into an old
desktop using a 2.5" -> 3.5" ide adapter.  After loading a few new
drivers into the kernel everything is working quite well.

The next thing I've tried to do, without success, is mirror the
contents of the 2.5" drive to a 3.5" drive in the desktop.

The 2.5" drive is sliced/partitioned like this:

Filesystem  SizeMounted on
/dev/ad0s2a 989M   /
/dev/ad0s2d 989M   /tmp
/dev/ad0s2f  59G /usr
/dev/ad0s2e 989M   /var

ad0s1 is a 20GB slice that I have window installed on.

The drive's total capacity is 80G.

The 3.5" drive is only 70G so I'll have to skip the ad0s1 slice.
Ideally what I'd like to do is copy everything from the ad0s2 slice to
the 3.5" and run the OS off that drive.  Then, each dump the contents
of the 3.5" drive to the 2.5" drive.  That way if either drive dies
I'll, hopefully at worst, just have to switch which drive I boot from.

Can anyone with experience doing something this make suggestions?

Thanks,

Joey

(math related) fonts in www/firefox-2.0.0.14_1,1

I'm having some trouble getting firefox to display certain (math

For example, the page for the Poisson distribution at Wikipedia

tex, teTex, LaTeX help

[Joey Mingrone]

Hello,

I've been told that LaTeX is probably the best solution for creating
scientific papers with math fonts, so I'm trying to get a working
installation.

My first attempt was to install the latex2e-2003.12_1 port, which
installed the tex-3.14159_3 port as a dependency.  This seemed to
work, but there were some things referenced in the documentation that
seemed to be missing.  For example, the amsmath package wasn't
available.  I thought there must be a port specifically for these
fonts, but it seems they are in the teTex port, but that port
conflicts with the tex port and it seems teTex is no longer being
updated.

Is there a guide for getting all this set up, or can some kind soul
suggest a installation method that works well for them?

Thanks,

Thank you all for your replies.  It was snd_ich.

And sorry for the double post to the list.  Despite having the list

I'm trying to determine what sound card a notebook has.  There are
three relevant dmesg lines below, but looking at freebsd's hardware

sound card

[Joey Mingrone]

Hi,

I'm trying to determine what sound card a notebook has.  There are
three relevant dmesg lines below, but looking at freebsd's hardware
notes, I can't tell whether I should use the snd_ich(4) driver for an
Intel ICH4 card, the snd_hda(4) driver for an 82801 card or a sigmatel
card.  Any suggestions?


%cat /var/run/dmesg.boot| grep pcm
pcm0:  port 0xee00-0xeeff,0xe000-0xe03f mem
0xffaff800-0xffaff9ff,0xffaff400-0xffaff4ff irq 4 at device 31.5 on

Thanks for the tip.  ..ran: startx -- -dpi 96 and the log showed the
change, and the fonts looked crisper, but the problem with the large
overlapping fonts persisted.  Any other suggestions or thoughts about
where I should continue my search?

font problems

[Joey Mingrone]

Over the holidays I decided to upgrade my ports after several months
and everything went well except some fonts seems to be messed up.
Sorry, I'm not really sure how to explain this better.  Here is a
screenshot of gkrellm: http://jrm.ath.cx/misc/messed_up_fonts.png

As you can see, the fonts are so large they overlap.  I didn't change
any of my configuration files (xorg.conf, ~/fonts.conf, ~/.gtkrc-2.0,
etc).  The problem seems to be isolated to gtk applications.  Here is
the output from /var/log/xorg.log: http://jrm.ath.cx/misc/Xorg.0.log

It seems as though the usual fonts cannot be rendered so some sort of
defaults are being used.  Thanks for any suggestions.

Re: FreeBSD Port: R-2.4.1

[Joey Mingrone]

I'm not using gcc-4.2 really.  It was just installed because the R
port has it as a dependency.

You're going to run into issues if you use gcc-4.2 (an alpha gcc compiler), 
because many things were broken compilation wise moving from gcc-3.4 (base 
compiler that FreeBSD runs) to gcc-4.x.

Why not ask the hackers@ list about this question since it's a more technical 
one than most on the questions@ list ask/answer?

PS It looks like some libs are statically defined somewhere, so you need to fix 
that before moving on.

Re: FreeBSD Port: R-2.4.1

[Joey Mingrone]

Hey Eric, all,

That was the first install attempt of R on this box.  There was no
previous installation.  Also, I tried again with portinstall -Rf R,
which, I believe, reinstalled all the dependencies, but with the same
outcome.

For the line that failed I also went into the directory:

/usr/ports/math/R/work/R-2.4.1/src/main

and changed the original command which was

cc -std=gnu99 -export-dynamic -L/usr/local/lib -o R.bin Rmain.o -L../../lib -lR

to

gcc42 -std=gnu99 -export-dynamic -L/usr/local/lib -o R.bin Rmain.o
-L../../lib -lR -lgcc_s

and the command worked (note I changed cc to gcc42 and added -lgcc_s)

Any other ideas?

Try removing any existing R installation before building 2.4.1.

Also, reinstall all of R's dependencies -- blas and its dependents are

installing / updating ports on an older (4.8 system)

[Joey Mingrone]

Hi,

I have a box running 4.8.  I only have ssh access so I can't update the OS 
at the moment, but I would like to update certain ports.  I'm running into 
a few problems.  The worst is when I update a port it tries to update / 
install dependencies that are already up to date.  For example, when I try 
to update vim, it tries to install gmake-3.80_2, which is already 
installed.  The build/install ends with the following error message:

===>  Installing for gmake-3.80_2
===>   Generating temporary packing list
===>  Checking if devel/gmake already installed
===>   gmake-3.80_2 is already installed
  You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again
  by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
  If you really wish to overwrite the old port of devel/gmake
  without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
  in your environment or the "make install" command line.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/devel/gmake.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/devel/pkgconfig.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/editors/vim.
** Command failed [exit code 1]: /usr/bin/script 
-qa /tmp/portupgrade34605.0 make
** Fix the problem and try again.
** Listing the failed packages (*:skipped / !:failed)
! editors/vim (vim-6.3.16)  (unknown build error)
--->  Packages processed: 0 done, 0 ignored, 0 skipped and 1 failed

I did try the make deinstall / reinstall but with the same results.  If I 
unistall gmake (and other dependencies) then just build vim, it will work, 
but deinstalling dependencies before every update is a little cumbersome.

A second and possibly related problem is that building an index fails.  I 
read the following on http://freebsd.org/ports

The Ports Collection supports the latest release on the FreeBSD-CURRENT and 
FreeBSD-STABLE branches. Older releases are not supported and may or may 
not work correctly with an up-to-date ports collection.

So am I out of luck or is there any help out there?

Thanks,

Joey

pdf viewer with form fill in

Hi,

Does anyone know of a .pdf viewer in the ports tree, or elsewhere, that 
will allow you to fill in forms.  Acrored, kghostview and xpdf all work 
quite well for viewing, but don't provide that very useful feature.

Thanks,

cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade

Specifically I,

- - rm -rf /usr/obj/ (I actually forgot to do this the first time, but redid 
everything with this included)
- - make buildworld
- - make buildkernel KERNCONF=""
- - make installkernel KERNCONF=""
- - reboot to single user mode
- - mergemaster -p
- - make installworld
- - mergemaster (asked me to do a makedev, which I did).

I also took a look in the BIOS and the only relevant option I found was "USB 
Legacy Support".  It was set to "Auto".  I changed it to "Disable", but same 
result.

I've included the kernel configuration file below.

Re: drive / IDE controller questions

[Joey Mingrone]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Guys,

Thanks for the tips.

I don't think the problem is with the drive itself overheating for the 
following reasons:

First, I tried the touch-test you suggested and the drive seems warm, but 
definitely not hot.

Second, I think the front case fan is doing a pretty good job.  When I put my 
hand on the drive there was a pretty good breeze blowing right around the 
drive itself.

Finally, when I start running into problems and the drive gets really bad 
(restarting constantly), I can't even run the WD diagnostic tool, but I can 
immediately swap the drive out into another system and run the diagnostic 
tool without any problems.

Oh, and Mark, to answer your question, the WD diagnostic tool states that it

"allows you to test the drive, print results for last drive tested, repair 
errors found during the Test Drive option and write zeros to the drive."

But, they obviously do something more than that because when I'm having 
problems and fsck won't mark the filesystem as clean, I can run WD's 
diagnostic tool, it will report there were no errors found, but fsck will be 
able to complete now.

Here are potential problems that I haven't ruled out:

- - general M/B problem requiring a replacement M/B
- - a problem with the on-board IDE controller whether it's overheating or some 
other problem
- - a problem with the power supply (this is stab in the dark, but I've seen 
rare VCore spikes with xmbon but I have no idea if this would only affect the 
drive)

I replaced the side panel on my case for the first time in about a year.  The 
CPU and memory temperatures are up a few degrees, but I'll leave it on for 
awhile anyway.  I also did my best to position cables out of the way to allow 
good air flow.

I also might try to buy a cheap IDE controller and see if that helps.

Again, thanks for your suggestions.  If I find a solution I'll make sure to 
pass it on.

Joey

Sorry about that.  I think I got lazy and just replied to a message and

Could be.. although I have almost always had the case open and I have two case 
fans.  The CPU temp is usually in the 40s or 50s C (not too bad for a 1.6GHz 
Athlon) and the memory is usually around 25C.  ..but maybe I'll try pointing 
a fan at it.

drive / IDE controller questions

[Joey Mingrone]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

I've been having problems with my western digital drive 
(http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?DriveID=24) for about a year.  
I've posted messages about this before, but I have some new information that 
may be relevant.  

The problem started out when I would randomly hear the drive restarting.  It 
would make a high pitch sound that would increase in pitch and last a second 
or two (The same sound the drive makes when you power on the system).  
Messages similar to the ones below would also appear in /var/log/messages:

ad0: WRITE command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting
/kernel: ata0: resetting devices .. ata0-slave: ATA identify retries exceeded

ad0: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting

At first, these drive resets would only happen once or twice and everything 
would go back to normal.  Eventually they would happen over and over until 
the system became unusable and wouldn't boot up even after running fsck in 
singal user mode with all the partitions unmount or mounted read only.  I 
found a temporary solution was to run the western digital diagnostic tools 
and then run fsck.  I would usually have a small amount of data 
corruption/loss but the system would be usable again.  Things would be fine 
for a week or longer, but the problem would eventually reappear.  Finally I 
contacted WD and they sent me a replacement drive (It was the same model, but 
a refurbished drive that I'm guessing was sent back by someone else).  After 
a few tries I managed to get dd to copy the contents of the old drive to the 
new drive and for quite some time everything was great.  But, the other day 
the new drive began to have the same problem as the old one.

So now, I'm guessing the problem may lie with the controller on the main board 
(http://usa.asus.com/mb/socketa/a7v266-e/overview.htm).

My main board has the optional raid controller.  Would it be possible to use 
that controller with my current drive, or would the secondary controller be a 
better solution?

Other notes:

I've tried a few different IDE cables.
I don't think it has anything to do with the OS since the resets have happened 
before the OS starts to boot and in the BIOS.

I've included a uname -a, dmesg output and my kernel config file below.  Any 
tips would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Joey

Thanks for the tips Kent.  I'm running 4.9 (4.9-RELEASE-p2).

I also did a cvsup of the ports tree and a portsdb -uU, and after make/buid 
world and a new kernel I also deleted everything is /usr/include/g++ and did:
cd /usr/src && rm -r /usr/include/g++ && make includes

portupgrade -Rf id3lib updates the dependencies properly but still produces 
the same errors.

I'm guessing the problem is in /usr/lib???

Thanks,

Joey

library/linking problems

[Joey Mingrone]

Hi,

I have some sort of problem with my c++ stream libraries.  A bunch of ports 
that rely on things like cerr are giving linking errors.  (lots of "undefined 
reference to `cerr', undefined reference to `ostream::operator<<(char const 
*)'").  

I've posted output from the some the builds that fail at 
http://mingrone.org/errors/.

I also cvsuped my sources and rebuilt userland and my kernel, but no luck.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Joey

Re: Nwe kernel and dmesg question

[Joey Mingrone]

Hey Peter,

To get rid of the error messages on boot up, you can remove devices you are 
not using from /boot/kernel.conf.

Joey

Hello everybody,

I'm sorry for the long mail, but I really need your help. Please read it
before removing :-)
I just have my new kernel (where I disabled almost SCSI devices) but during
start-up there are errors as follows:
config> di pcic0
No such device: pcic0
Invalid command or syntax.  Type `?' for help.
config> di bt0

What are these devices ? Why they are there, when I rem all lines 
concerning
about them in my kernel config file ?

Also, my machine has Matrox Millenium card. I tried tu set it up into VESA
mode and use 132x43 cols/lns, but the last message before showing login
screen is: "vidcontrol: cannot set video mode. Operation not supported by
device". Matrox was found:
VESA: v2.0, 2048k memory, flags:0x1, mode table:0xc030a302 (122)
VESA: Matrox Graphics Inc.
[skipped]
pci0:  at 11.0 irq 11
but sc0 still goes into VGA mode:

vga0:  at port 0x3c0-0x3df iomem 0xa-0xb on isa0
sc0:  at flags 0x100 on isa0
sc0: VGA <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x300>
How to make it to go into VESA mode ? How to make kernel to use Matrox
Millenium driver ?
The last question is about CD-ROM. Ata is working properly:

atapci0:  port
0x2000-0x200f,0-0x3,0-0x7,0-0x3,0-0x7 irq 15 at device 20.1 on pci0
ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0
ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0
[skipped]
acd0: CDROM  at ata0-master PIO4
CD-ROM is found, but I still can not use it (mount does not work, writing:
READ_TOC command timeout - resetting
resetting devices ... done
read data overrun 12/0
I encountered this problem during installation, too. I was not able to
install FreeBSD from the CD the install boot from, so I installed it from
MSDOS partition (I mounted temporarily. I have only one SCSI HDD and ATA
CD-ROM in my machine.
Why I can not use my CDROM :-( ?

Please help, if you can :-)

Re: KDE, Konqueror, and plugins

[Joey Mingrone]

Chris,

I've never been able to get any macromedia flash plugin to work with 
Konqueror on FreeBSD, but macromedia's flash 5 for linux works great with 
FreeBSD's native Mozilla and Firebird with a FreeBSD wrapper.

This is what I would recommend:

First, get rid of all the flash plugins you have installed.  Next, install 
the flashpluginwrapper port (This will install the linux flashplugin 5 port 
as a dependency).   Once the port has successfully installed there are a few 
small tasks.  Here's the message displayed after installing the port:

If you are using a Mozilla browser, you first need to copy the linux
flash plugin into the mozilla plugins directory:
(I actually just create links, but this doesn't really matter.)

# cp %%LOCALBASE%%/lib/flash/libflashplayer.so \
   %%X11BASE%%/lib/browser_plugins/libflashplayer_linux.so
# cp %%LOCALBASE%%/lib/flash/ShockwaveFlash.class \
   %%X11BASE%%/lib/browser_plugins/
Next, change the Mozilla startup script, %%X11BASE%%/bin/mozilla
to have:
LD_PRELOAD=%%PREFIX%%/lib/libflashplayer.so.1
export LD_PRELOAD
at the top of it (but after #!/bin/sh).  Now start mozilla and go to
'about:plugins' and the flash plugin is enabled!
..and that's pretty much it.  With the exception of the rare site that 
requires flash 6, it works perfectly.

To really get a multimedia capable browser you might want to consider 
installing the mplayerplug-in and java plugins as well.

Joey


Hiya folks,
	Well - I didn't download the source for KDE, I installed via the packages. 
So
- that means I don't have the needed nspluginscan so the above mentioned
browser can scan in plugins. Mainly flash.

Ok, so - I installed Mozilla and the slew of flash plugins in 
/usr/ports/www
and I can't for the life of me get them to work.

So, I figured I would try Netscape7 from the ports - still again, the
previously installed slew of flash plugins are not either being seen, or 
just
plain and simply don't work.

I could use some ideas on how some of you have gotten by this without
downloading the KDE source and compiling it just to get nspluginscan (this 
is
what Konqueror needs in order to pull in the plugins).

Any and all ideas would be most cool.

 Chris

Hi! I am pretty new to FreeBSD, however, I do really enjoy useing it, its a 
GREAT server platform.
It makes a pretty darn good desktop too.  :-)

Anyway, on to my question.  I for the life of me can't figure out how to 
update my system.  Everything I read REALLY confuses me.  I was hopeing it 
would be something as simple as emerge world or system like in Gentoo Linux. 
 Anyway, If you could give me a step by step newbie install guide, that 
would help VERY much!  Thanks

?  It's pretty close to a step-by-step guide to updating your system.  It's 
only a few pages long and quite well written.

Re: hostname on LAN with WAN

[Joey Mingrone]

Constantine,

I believe you can just add an entry to /etc/hosts to specify the hostname 
for your box.  Something like:

192.168.0.2 constantine constantine.domainname.com.

Just make sure your sytstem is searching the hosts file before DNS (in 
/etc/host.conf, hosts is above bind).

man hosts
man host.conf

Hello!

I am using my FreeBSD 4.8 in a local network, I do not have any routable 
IPs assigned to the box, so what am I supposed to use as a hostname for 
that FreeBSD box?

I have an internet connection (DSL modem with NAT), and I am using the 
sendmail on the box, and the problem I have, is that during the boot time I 
need to wait 2 minutes for the DNS-timeout.
I wanted to ask, how the hostname is meant to be set in my case.

Cheers,
Constantine.

Re: PortUpgrade

[Joey Mingrone]

From the man page:


-P
--use-packages Use packages instead of ports whenever 
available.
   portupgrade searches the local directories 
listed
   in PKG_PATH for each package to install or 
upgrade
   the current installation with, and if none is
   found, pkg_fetch(1) is invoked to fetch one from 
a
   remote site.  If it doesn't work either, the 
port
   is used.


Hi !

I 'portupgrade -a' my system and figured out that it is
recompiling every new port.
It's taking a vry long time to do so.

Is there a way to specify to portupgrade to get the
compiled package instead of compiling everything ?

Thank you

drive problem solved?

[Joey Mingrone]

A few days ago I noticed the drive activity light on my box was solid and 
then I noticed my screen was frozen black.  When I rebooted, /usr wouldn't 
mount and I was left in single user mode.  The errors were something like:

/dev/ad0s1g: Unkown file type I = 1236807
/dev/ad0s1g: unexpected softupdate; run fsck manually

I ran fsck manually, but the results were not promising.

I got lots of errors that included stuff like:
hard error reading fsbn ?? status 59 and I can remember reading status 5b.  
I checked a few of the errors on google and I found a few identical to mine. 
 All the responses to people asking what these errors were, were "your 
drive is hosed".

When I rebooted the problem persisted so I figured I was just unlucky and my 
3 month old drive had died.  I managed to mount /usr read-only and saved 
almost all of my data.  I went to file an RMA with Western Digital, but, as 
they recommend, I ran their diagnostics first.  To my surprise the 
diagnostics reported no problems with the drive?

Today I mounted /usr again as read-only and ran fsck (this is about the 10th 
time I've run it) and for some reason the next time the system booted fine?

Drive: WD1000JB
IDE Controller: atapci1:  port 0xa000-0xa00f irq 
0 at device 17.1 on pci0 (on board of a asus a7v266e)

A friend, who has the same motherboard and drive had the same problem a few 
months ago, but he just ended up getting a new drive and starting over.

I also swappped IDE cables a few times, and once right before the successful 
fsck.

I'm running 4.7-RELEASE-p2

So my questions... Should I trust WD diagnostics?   Why would fsck all of a 
sudden fix the problem? ..if it did fix it? Has anyone else with the 
same/similar hardware experienced these problems.


Thanks,

Joey
