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.
