It was still going, but I just stopped it. I tried badblocks on my / and /usr partitions as well, to check whether a partition being mounted causes these things to appear. Nope. On / and /usr I got no bad blocks, but on /var I got a bunch, and on /home I got a boatload. So I guess that settles it, my drive is bad. Also, I found my Dell support Drivers and Utilities cd that apparently contains diagnostics too. I should be able to boot off of it right? But probably first priority is back up anything that can still be backed up... Darn it to heck. Alex. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
