For some time I have been seeing disk errors in the syslog every seven days. Until today it always happens Sunday morning at 8:13 AM, plus or minus a minute or two. Yesterday it happened at 1:13 AM. Here are the pertinent log entries for the latest occurrence: Jan 6 01:12:29 g2 kernel: ata9.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 Jan 6 01:12:29 g2 kernel: ata9.00: BMDMA stat 0x64 Jan
