As someone else mentioned, how is your disk partitioned? You are checking sda1, but are there other partitions/filesystems on your disk? You should confirm that it's not actually a different filesystem that is failing. Re-seat all cables and connectors. Confirm all fans are operating. Swap power supplies. Swap disks. galen -- Galen Seitz [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
