Hi RW, >From logsentry on "soekris2": Unusual System Events =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Apr 15 01:00:39 soekris2 /bsd: wd0a: id not found reading fsbn 367868 of 367868-367871 (wd0 bn 367932; cn 365 tn 0 sn 12), retrying Apr 15 01:00:40 soekris2 /bsd: wd0: soft error (corrected) I'm not sure what this is about, but it might be the first hint at a wearing out CF. Apparently something to do with corrupted disk blocks (according to various *BSD lists). I've been having these warnings quite regularly for a couple of weeks now. CF is about a year old, brand "Kingston Technology". The "soft error" indicates that it's nothing to worry about anyway, so I won't, for now.
