Their Actually, quick follow up question. If any, where should I see soft errors, or hard errors reported? I am on a stock redhat 7.2 install. Do I need to log anything extra, or install something, etc? I don't believe that I have any errors in /var/log/messages? Is it feasible that the hard errors I noted *could* have been caused by a hard freeze on a machine running ext3. Partial writes, etc? Perhaps the disk isn't failing? Ed W
