Yeap. Uncorrectable media errors during READ do occur from time to time and if you just write over those sectors, the harddrive will automatically reallocate those tracks to spare area, so just doing "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M" and rebuilding FS is likely to fix the problem. If that doesn't help, you need to RMA the drive.
I will RMA the drives, as they are new, and the errors are enough to keep linux from booting (the hard drives are mounted during boot). Hopefully this will fix my sata disk problems. thanks for all the help debugging the problem, jeff - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
