I know it's not the best place to ask, but I figured since I
subscribe to the list, and I've heard some pretty good hardware advice
already, I'd throw the question out.
I'm pretty sure the SATA disk on my personal Solaris 10 host is dead, or
soon to be on its way dead.
WARNING: /pci at 0,0/pci-ide at 1f,2/ide at 0 (ata2):
timeoout: early timeout, target=0, lun=0
WARNING: /pci at 0,0/pci-ide at 1f,2/ide at 0/cmdk at 0,0 (Disk0):
Error for command 'read sector' Error Level: Informational
Sense Key: aborted command
Vendor 'Gen-ATA' error code: 0x3
ata_disk_start: select failed
The host died somewhere around 2am with these messages.
If necessary, I'll get another disk, and try to do a 'dd' recovery of the
important files/home directory filesystem.
