In that event, I'd be checking the drive makers web site for firmware updates for YOUR drive(s) Seagate is pretty good about that. I'm not saying this is your problem, but it is something to investigate. The last 1T drive I updated had already used up 25 sectors as re-allocated at < 5,000 spinning hours. After the update it was about 25% faster, and 80,000+ spinning hours later, still had that same 25 re-allocated sectors. Its a good drive yet but amanda needed more space, so it got replaced with a 2T drive. Stretch isn't stable yet,way too many networking problems so I'll probably wait till buster turns stable. Networking already Just Works from the reports I read here. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
