I just tried re-installing a slave drive that had been hosed by Mysterious Forces(tm) a while back, on the off chance I could salvage it.
Here is the dmesg: hdb: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error } hdb: read_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError } hdb: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error } hdb: read_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError } hdb: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error } hdb: read_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError } hdb: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error } hdb: read_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError } ide0: reset: success hdb: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error } hdb: read_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError } end_request: I/O error, dev 03:40 (hdb), sector 0 Is this hopeless? gpart doesn't seem to be up to this. Any ideas would be most appreciated. -- Tom Schuetz | <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "VI VI VI: The editor of the beast."
