You could try using SpinRite. http://www.grc.com It now works with all filesystems and is up to version 6.

Ouch, sorry. I should've checked that this port worked with 4.x before writing. My mistake. You could try your luck with FreeSBIE Live-CD: http://www.freesbie.org/ I didn't try it, but AFAICS, it's 5.x-based, so you should be able to install smartmontools in the memory-based filesystem that FreeSBIE creates and then check your disk from that. Just give it a try. it *may* even work. > David Fleck > [EMAIL PROTECTED] Regards, -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

IDE drive - "hard error reading fsbn..." - recoverable?
4.9-RELEASE-p11 system. Experimenting with cdda2wav this morning, I managed to get my system into a completely non-responsive state- no keyboard, mouse, or console activity; the machine responded to about 20% of ping packets, with many-second delays; attempts to ssh into the box failed. So I power-cycled the machine. After an apparently normal reboot, I noticed I could no longer access certain files: dcf>$ ls .mozilla/firefox/dcf/bookmarks.html ls: .mozilla/firefox/dcf/bookmarks.html: Input/output error and these errors were accompanied by kernel warnings: Oct 23 16:58:12 grond /kernel: ad0s1e: hard error reading fsbn 29926527 of 9843232-9843263 (ad0s1 bn 29926527; cn 1862 tn 214 sn 15) status=59 error=40 Other files in /home/dcf were affected, also - many seemed to be related to firefox, which had been running when the system froze/was rebooted. I dropped to single user mode and started fsck - and got the following: ** /dev/ad0s1e ** Last Mounted on /home ** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes CONTINUE? [yn] THE FOLLOWING DISK SECTORS COULD NOT BE READ: 9843232, 9843233, 9843234, 9843235, 9843236, 9843237, 9843238, 9843239, 9843240, 9843241, 9843242, 9843243, 9843244, 9843245, 9843246, 9843247, 9843248, 9843249, 9843250, 9843251, 9843252, 9843253, 9843254, 9843255, 9843256, 9843257, 9843258, 9843259, 9843260, 9843261, 9843262, 9843263, 9843264, 9843265, 9843266, 9843267, 9843268, 9843269, 9843270, 9843271, 9843272, 9843273, 9843274, 9843275, 9843276, 9843277, 9843278, 9843279, 9843280, 9843281, 9843282, 9843283, 9843284, 9843285, 9843286, 9843287, 9843288, 9843289, 9843290, 9843291, 9843292, 9843293, 9843294, 9843295, CONTINUE? [yn] ...many, many times, interspersed with as many kernel errors: ad0s1e: hard error reading fsbn 9843238 (ad0s1 bn 9843238; cn 612 tn 181 sn 55) status=59 error=40 ad0s1e: hard error reading fsbn 9843239 (ad0s1 bn 9843239; cn 612 tn 181 sn 56) status=59 error=40 ad0s1e: hard error reading fsbn 9843240 (ad0s1 bn 9843240; cn 612 tn 181 sn 57) status=59 error=40 ad0s1e: hard error reading fsbn 9843241 (ad0s1 bn 9843241; cn 612 tn 181 sn 58) status=59 error=40 ad0s1e: hard error reading fsbn 9843242 (ad0s1 bn 9843242; cn 612 tn 181 sn 59) status=59 error=40 ad0s1e: hard error reading fsbn 9843243 (ad0s1 bn 9843243; cn 612 tn 181 sn 60) status=59 error=40 ...etc. So I figure somehow I suffered hard drive damage in the system freeze or my reboot. My questions, now, are: Is this likely a one-time thing, or a symptom of creeping disk death? (The 'hard error' messages only started after the reboot.) If it's one-time, is the disk still usable? Can I flag the affected sectors as bad, and work around them? How can I best determine the extent of the damage? I'd rather not do a manual fsck for a whole afternoon if I can help it. How best can I recover from the damage? Many of the affected files appear to be in my home directory. Can I just blow away the entire /home/dcf and restore from backup (I think I have those...)?
