Thanks a lot Francois for the reply :-) This error appears only some times. I refitted the cables of all hard disks once again and this error does not seem to occor for some time. The Disk is SATA disk scheduler: set policy of ad8 to noop ad8: 476940MB <Seagate ST3500418AS CC38> at ata4-master SATA150 disk scheduler: set policy of ad8 to noop ad8: 476940MB <Seagate ST3500418AS CC38> at ata4-master SATA150 What should I do to find out if the disk is working right? Is a # smartctl -t long /dev/ad8 enough? Also will this type of error affect the Integrity of hammer File System? Should I do some thing to Check the integrity of the file system ? My versions are dfly-bkpsrv# hammer version /Backup3 min=1 wip=none max=6 current=4 description="New undo/flush, faster flush/sync (DragonFly 2.5+)" available versions: I plan to upgrade to hammer v6 soon. Kernel is DragonFly v2.11.0.247.gda17d9-DEVELOPMENT #36: Mon May 23 12:57:37 IST 2011 Also How do I map ad8 etc to their sernos? The answer i got from this list earlier was to ls /dev/ and /dev/serno and match according to the order found there it was ok before there was ad10. Now ad10 shows up first even before ad4. so I am a bit confused. dfly-bkpsrv# cd /dev/ dfly-bkpsrv# ls acd0 ad4s1g ad8s1 consolectl kmem psm0 ttyd0 ttyv9 udev acpi ad4s1h ad8s1d crypto log ptmx ttyid0 ttyva urandom ad10 ad6 apm cuaa0 lpt0 pts ttyld0 ttyvb usb ad10s1 ad6s1 ata cuaia0 lpt0.ctl random ttyv0 ttyvc usb0 ad10s1d ad6s1a bpf cuala0 md0 serno ttyv1 ttyvd usb1 ad4 ad6s1b bpf0 devctl md0s0 sg0 ttyv2 ttyve usb2 ad4s1 ad6s1d bpf1 devfs mem sga ttyv3 ttyvf xpt0 ad4s1a ad6s1e bpf2 fd null stderr ttyv4 tun zero ad4s1b ad6s1f bpf3 io part-by-uuid stdin ttyv5 tun0 ad4s1d ad6s1g bpsm0 kbd0 pass0 stdout ttyv6 tun1 ad4s1e ad6s1h cd0 kbd1 pci sysmouse ttyv7 tun2 ad4s1f ad8 console klog ppi0 tty ttyv8 tun3 dfly-bkpsrv# cd /dev/serno/ dfly-bkpsrv# ls 9QMAS4SZ 9QMAS4SZ.s1b 9QMAS4SZ.s1f 9QMATBHX 9QMATBHX.s1b 9QMATBHX.s1f 9VMRFDSY 9VMRG202 9QMAS4SZ.s1 9QMAS4SZ.s1d 9QMAS4SZ.s1g 9QMATBHX.s1 9QMATBHX.s1d 9QMATBHX.s1g 9VMRFDSY.s1 9VMRG202.s1 9QMAS4SZ.s1a 9QMAS4SZ.s1e 9QMAS4SZ.s1h 9QMATBHX.s1a 9QMATBHX.s1e 9QMATBHX.s1h 9VMRFDSY.s1d 9VMRG202.s1d Thanks --Siju
