LOts of verbage found on google, but nothing that explained
anything well.
Disk is about 2 years old, not under heavy load.FreeBSD 6.1
Should I replace? (Seagate Cheetah SCSI 3 73 GIG).
or is this 'normal' once in a while?
While bad sectors occur over time, they aren't normal.
You should install smartmontools (assuming you run FreeBSD 5.x or
later) and have it run a drive self-test, and monitor the counts of
bad sectors being reallocated and other errors. If you don't see
anything bad and no additional bad sectors appear over the next few
weeks, you can probably live with it as an isolated incident.
Of course, you should also be prepared to recover your data from
backups in case the drive decides to die completely, as it may do
just that...
