I'm running xfs filesystems. When gdm now loads, and tries looking in /etc/gconf/, it spits this out on the console: hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hda: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=641920, sector=641856 end_request: I/O error, dev 03:02 (hda), sector 641856 I/O error in filesystem ("ide0(3,2)") meta-data dev 0x302 block 0x9cb40 ("xfs_trans_read_buf") error 5 buf count 8192 Now, is this a hardware defect with my hdd, or XFS error? I know it says I/O error in filesystem, but I just want to make sure that XFS is not seeing it as it's own error, when it's really the drive that's bad. Thanx. \LaShI
