Re: Is this a bad, bad sign? (harddisk problem?)
What do you think is causing this:
May 5 07:23:26 panther kernel: hda: WDC AC21200H, 1222MB w/128kB Cache,
LBA, CHS=2484/16/63, DMA
Keep in mind that I'm not using LBA mode. Maybe I'm mistaken, but doesn't
that field that says LBA mean the drive is in LBA mode?
Ofcourse, you can tell it's not since the cylinders are more that 1023.
Not to mention I just went through switching from LBA to normal mode not
to long ago because of file coruption I suspected was caused by the LBA
mode. Which now may be something else all together.
I've only had this drive about a year. I can't imagine it going tit's-up
this fast.
Thoughts?
