I come in to work the other morning, did backup, and right after backup the node crashed and wouldn't reboot. After messing around with it for a while, I decided to invol the disk, and restore from the backup. During the invol, it kept on coming up with errors such as "can't read daddr XXXX" , "can't write daddr XXXX", and so on. So I hop into fbs, let it run a couple of passes, and lo and behold, my physical bad spot list goes from 2 to 1490. However, the last 4 passes out of ten didn't find any errors, so I figured the problem is fixed. Invol the disk, which works fine (no errors), restore the backup, (no errors, works fine), patch up the registry, and BOOM about an hour later, it's down again. Go back to fbs on a hunch, and lo it finds ~900 more bad sectors. What the heck is going on here. Did my disk buy the farm?? Did the disk controller bite it ?? (BTW I have another 330 with a disk and controller, can I hang the possible bad disk off of it, and see if it's the controller??) Any suggestions?? Ideas?? are there any utilities in the sau directories that might help?? I am running 9.5.1 on the 330, and have 9.6 on a 660 that I could boot off of. Thanx in advance for any help or advice. -- Jaye Mathisen mathisen.sys_admin.sys_org icsu6000%mtsunix1.BITNET@cunyvm.cuny.edu icsu6000%mtsunix1.BITNET PS (Anybody got some 330's they want to sell (w/disks) Montana State is buying!!)
