Keep in mind that any attempt to backup or copy this drive could be what kills it completely. My advice is don't use the drive until a replacement is available, and then only use it to transfer data to the new drive. Whatever you decide, only attempt backup/transfer after the drive is over night cold. HTH-jm thanks for the advise.. the drive in question just holds the /boot, one of the swap partitions and my /usr/portage.. i have already disabled the swap on the drive and have a backup of the /boot stored in the attached raid array on the machine... not too concerned about the /usr/portage but good advise anyways :) Thanks

Every time I have ever seen this error, it has been because of a drive
getting ready to die. It could be the ribbon, but have a backup ready
just in case.
thanks...
ordered a new drive earlier today.. will probably take the machine offline and replace the drive...

It may not be the drive. I would start by checking the ribbon cable
and replacing that before you go out and buy a new drive.
