The PERC controller looks after bad block reassignment. Sincerely -- Mark Salyzyn
-----Original Message----- From: Kit Gerrits [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 31, 2005 11:44 AM To: Salyzyn, Mark Cc: [email protected] Subject: RE: Disk errors Indeed, I had an entire screenful of errors (a few each second) when I came in in the morning... The strange thing is, that the drive with the grown error is part of the DATA container (/home and /data), whilst the disk with the rest ( / ) was fine. You'd expect the error to show up in /var/log/messages, but it didn't. I think the entire controller gave up as soon as the error popped up. ----- Is there a way of having the controller detect / handle grown errors? Will setting automatic remapping handle this? Does Anyone know how to read / write mode pages? ---- Thanks all!
