I'm starting an offline SMART test now but I doubt that this will reveal anything. The disk has a UDMA_CRC_Error_Count of 1 but this is not that much. Right now I can't think that the disk has a problem. If this would be the case and I would access a file on a corrupt disk FreeBSD would have spammed my console already with read errors. Same goes for write. I'll let you know what the SMART analysis revealed. Is there a way to force bacula to re-read the backups after they where written or do I have to schedule continuous restores to make sure they stay readable? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
