For a few weeks I've been getting unrecoverable read errors on bootup. It has only affected various printer config files, and, since I don't have a printer hooked up, that doesn't matter. I have been madly backing things up and figured I was going to have to install a new HD.

So today fsck ran on that partition at bootup. When it asked me if I wanted it to repair errors, I said "Sure, why not?" So it did, and now the system boots cleanly again.

The question is this: Do I have a major HD problem lurking that fsck hid, or did fsck really make the problem go away?

I think the answer is that it's still new hard disk time, but I'd like to be sure.

        Thanks.
