You are asking for a software soultion to a hardware problem. The system is desperately trying to write out blocks to your busted disk and, yes, it's taking a lot of time because it's patiently retrying and retrying and retrying. How very surprising.
You might want to read your logs instead of whining every time you don't know how to properly sysadmin your machines. //art Han Boetes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > wd0c: aborted command, interface CRC error reading fsbn 64 (wd0 bn 64; cn 0 > tn 1 sn 1), retrying > wd0: transfer error, downgrading to Ultra-DMA mode 5 > wd0(pciide0:0:0): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 5 > wd1(pciide0:0:1): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 6 > wd0c: aborted command, interface CRC error reading fsbn 64 (wd0 bn 64; cn 0 > tn 1 sn 1), retrying > wd0: soft error (corrected) > dkcsum: wd0 matches BIOS drive 0x80 > dkcsum: wd1 matches BIOS drive 0x81 > root on wd0a > rootdev=0x0 rrootdev=0x300 rawdev=0x302 > wd0: transfer error, downgrading to Ultra-DMA mode 4 > wd0(pciide0:0:0): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 4 > wd1(pciide0:0:1): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 6 > wd0a: aborted command, interface CRC error reading fsbn 96 of 96-0 (wd0 bn > 159; cn 0 tn 2 sn 33), retrying > wd0: transfer error, downgrading to Ultra-DMA mode 3 > wd0(pciide0:0:0): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 3 > wd1(pciide0:0:1): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 6 > wd0a: aborted command, interface CRC error reading fsbn 96 of 96-0 (wd0 bn > 159; cn 0 tn 2 sn 33), retrying > wd0: soft error (corrected) > wd0: transfer error, downgrading to Ultra-DMA mode 2 > wd0(pciide0:0:0): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 2 > wd1(pciide0:0:1): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 2 > wd0a: aborted command, interface CRC error writing fsbn 16 of 16-0 (wd0 bn > 79; cn 0 tn 1 sn 16), retrying > wd0: soft error (corrected) > cd0(atapiscsi0:0:0): Check Condition (error 0x70) on opcode 0x0 > SENSE KEY: Not Ready > ASC/ASCQ: Medium Not Present > syncing disks... done [...] > wd0c: aborted command, interface CRC error reading fsbn 64 (wd0 bn 64; cn 0 > tn 1 sn 1), retrying > wd0: transfer error, downgrading to Ultra-DMA mode 5 > wd0(pciide0:0:0): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 5 > wd1(pciide0:0:1): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 6 > wd0c: aborted command, interface CRC error reading fsbn 64 (wd0 bn 64; cn 0 > tn 1 sn 1), retrying > wd0: soft error (corrected) > dkcsum: wd0 matches BIOS drive 0x80 > dkcsum: wd1 matches BIOS drive 0x81 > root on wd0a > rootdev=0x0 rrootdev=0x300 rawdev=0x302 > wd0: transfer error, downgrading to Ultra-DMA mode 4 > wd0(pciide0:0:0): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 4 > wd1(pciide0:0:1): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 6 > wd0a: aborted command, interface CRC error reading fsbn 96 of 96-0 (wd0 bn > 159; cn 0 tn 2 sn 33), retrying > wd0: transfer error, downgrading to Ultra-DMA mode 3 > wd0(pciide0:0:0): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 3 > wd1(pciide0:0:1): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 6 > wd0a: aborted command, interface CRC error reading fsbn 96 of 96-0 (wd0 bn > 159; cn 0 tn 2 sn 33), retrying > wd0: soft error (corrected) > wd0: transfer error, downgrading to Ultra-DMA mode 2 > wd0(pciide0:0:0): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 2 > wd1(pciide0:0:1): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 2 > wd0a: aborted command, interface CRC error writing fsbn 16 of 16-0 (wd0 bn > 79; cn 0 tn 1 sn 16), retrying > wd0: soft error (corrected) > cd0(atapiscsi0:0:0): Check Condition (error 0x70) on opcode 0x0 > SENSE KEY: Not Ready > ASC/ASCQ: Medium Not Present > syncing disks...
