I'm getting these messages during boot:
error: failure reading sector 0xfc from 'hd4'
error: failure reading sector 0xe0 from 'hd4'
error: failure reading sector 0x0 from 'hd4'
error: failure reading sector 0xfc from 'hd5'
error: failure reading sector 0xe0 from 'hd5'
error: failure reading sector 0x0 from 'hd5'
they pop up soon after the Grub menu with a message to press ENTER to
continue, and it times out in a few seconds if I don't press ENTER. These
messages have been appearing for a long time, at least a couple of years
and I've been too lethargic to investigate til now.
I see no bad side-effects at runtime.
I just did badblocks (read-only) on both sda and sdb (RAID-1 pair)
which found no errors.
I see nothing obviously related in dmesg, or /var/log/messages.
I also have an external box (Venus DS3R Pro-2) with two drives, also
RAID-1, that I use for backups. It is seen (after boot) as /dev/sdc.
I'd have to pull the drives out of it and connect them to the SATA bus
to run badblocks on them, as badblocks won't run on /dev/sdc.
the nightly backups on to this box appear to run without issue.
Anybody got any ideas on what this might be about?
thanks in advance!
Fred
