Well, I have dd'd the thing a few times and ran the tests again, it still gives errors. What's odd, they seem to move around. Is there a bug crawling around in my drive?? lol # 1 Extended offline Completed: read failure 40% 21500 4032048552 #12 Extended offline Completed: read failure 40% 21406 4032272464 Anyway, I'm going to start saving up for a new drive. I may see if I can jump around that bad spot or something since right now, any backup is better than nothing at all. Well, sort of anyway. I'm just wondering if I should update to a 4TB drive instead of a 3TB one since I'm over half full already. :? /dev/mapper/Home2-Home2 2.7T 1.7T 1.1T 63% /home Thanks to Daniel and Bob for their replies. I think this drive needs a funeral. Once is bad enough but twice, not good. Dale :-) :-)
