I had similar problems with IBM-DTLA-305040. Solution was to reduce temperature and vibration of drive. Place hard drive with enough space around it to allow airflow cooling, don't place 2 drives close to each other. Don't use bad shaped cd disks in cdrom drive that makes vibration of all chassis. But this is temporary solution in your case, it is better to replace hard drive until it died completely. -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
