On a different dilemma, I have a FreeBSD proxy server with what looks like a failing drive.
The drive ONLY holds cache so is not critical for system operation however id still like to try something. It seem that no matter how many times I run fsck it still comes up with same result, is there a way to isolate the bad sectors and use the replacement ones on drive? Or even just isolate so that I can continue using the drive for now. su-2.05b# fsck -y /dev/ad1s1d ** /dev/ad1s1d ** Last Mounted on /mnt/cache ** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes CANNOT READ BLK: 15430784 UNEXPECTED SOFT UPDATE INCONSISTENCY CONTINUE? yes THE FOLLOWING DISK SECTORS COULD NOT BE READ: 15430836, 15430837, 15430838, 1543 0839, 15430840, 15430841, 15430842, 15430843, 15430844, 15430845, 15430846, 1543 0847, ** Phase 2 - Check Pathnames ** Phase 3 - Check Connectivity ** Phase 4 - Check Reference Counts ** Phase 5 - Check Cyl groups 366612 files, 8044663 used, 1423024 free (125376 frags, 162206 blocks, 1.3% frag mentation) ***** FILE SYSTEM STILL DIRTY ***** ***** PLEASE RERUN FSCK ***** su-2.05b# fsck -y /dev/ad1s1d ** /dev/ad1s1d ** Last Mounted on /mnt/cache ** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes CANNOT READ BLK: 15430784 UNEXPECTED SOFT UPDATE INCONSISTENCY CONTINUE? yes THE FOLLOWING DISK SECTORS COULD NOT BE READ: 15430836, 15430837, 15430838, 1543 0839, 15430840, 15430841, 15430842, 15430843, 15430844, 15430845, 15430846, 1543 0847, ** Phase 2 - Check Pathnames ** Phase 3 - Check Connectivity ** Phase 4 - Check Reference Counts ** Phase 5 - Check Cyl groups 366612 files, 8044663 used, 1423024 free (125376 frags, 162206 blocks, 1.3% frag mentation) ***** FILE SYSTEM STILL DIRTY ***** ***** PLEASE RERUN FSCK ***** _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
