Re: [TriLUG] DMA interrupt recovery

[Douglas Kojetin]

oye!  this'll be my second in a month or so (which is significant for 
the relatively few numbers of computers we have vs. the # of times i've 
seen this happen before -- at least to me!).  i just ran WD diag tools 
quick test -- it passed.  but, i'm going to rsync the data to another 
computer (hopefully) and run the extended test to be sure next.

probably a failed hard drive, i've seen this on at least four drives in

dev/hda' but then performance will be abyssimally slow, if it works at
all.
