Thank you very much for the pointer. I had never heard of this
before but it
is definitely going on it the future.. It confirms that the disc
has 39 bad
blocks so now I am reading the faq to figure out how to deal with
this. :)
Back up everything...
As stated in the original post I am trying to.
But when I try to copy everything to an external harddrive after
some time the
external harddrive is disconnected. I am not sure if this is a
separate issue
or if it happens as a result of too many errors on my system disk.
Anyway I have backed up everything that cannot be replaced so first
I will
deal with the bad blocks and then if the problem remains I will
probably tar
everything up to my server via ssh..
as the others said, start digging a grave for this drive. Had a
drive doing the same thing on a production box for a few months,
phbs waited till it just died to order the replacement. these kinds
of errors are warning signs of impending doom.
