1. Help for IDE Hard Disk --bad sectors?
My new Western Digital 540 Mb IDE hard drive has begun giving these error
messages to the kernel in the last week:
Jun 18 10:24:30 n5xcr kernel: hda: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }
Jun 18 10:24:30 n5xcr kernel: hda: read_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, CHS=903/14/54, sector=419255
Jun 18 10:24:31 n5xcr kernel: hda: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }
Jun 18 10:24:31 n5xcr kernel: hda: read_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, CHS=903/14/54, sector=419255
Jun 18 10:24:31 n5xcr kernel: hda: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }
This error is occuring in my /news subdirectories while nnmaster is doing
his thing. I found the corrupt files on my disk when I moved /news to a
newly created partition/filesystem.
I have e2fsck'd the disk, but it doesn't find any problems. My kernel is
1.1.59. My question is, does Linux find and keep track of failing sectors on
an IDE drive? I'm aware of this done in hardware as in SCSI drives, but what
hope have I except to do the old 'backup-reformat-reinstall'? Does Linux
have a command to 'fix' my disk?
