Hi everyone,
I noticed the following dma_intr errors in my system log
and then did a search on google for an explination
(complete list of errors truncated for brevity, but more
of the same):
Oct 5 03:09:32 hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady
SeekComplete Error }
Oct 5 03:09:32 hda: dma_intr: error=0x40
{UncorrectableError }, CHS=13542/0/89, sector=3255040
Oct 5 03:09:32 end_request: I/O error, dev
03:02(hda),sector 3255040
A suggestion found on google was to check the blocks on
the disk with badblocks. This I have done and turned up 4
bad blocks. My question is, now what? Is my disk going
to die? Is there a way to find out what files are stored
in those bad blocks? Can I simply mark those blocks as
bad and continue using the drive?
Thanks in advance for the help,
Matt
