OR - just something was recorded badly some time ago. clear whole drive with zeros and then retest. there is high change problem will go out. if not - don't use that drive for anything valuable at all ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
