I wouldn't worry in your particular case. A value of 2710 in 508 hours is a rate of 5,33/hour. At this rate, it's going to take you 56285 hours or 2345 days to reach 300,000 and most disks will likely function past 400,000 (over 600,000 all bets are off though). The people who need(ed) to worry were people like me, who were seeing the rate increase at a rate of 43+ per hour. - Sincerely, Dan Naumov _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
