It does not need to be a symptom of _early_ problems, but it can be a symptom of problems. I had a Fujitsu M2624 drive (520M). When it got hot, it failed to recalibrate correctly. After too much errors, the kernel unmounted the drive to not cause data loss due to writes on a wrong track. This has not been a good idea, as it was the root partition and so the kernel panicked. -- Heiko W.Rupp Gerwigstr.5 7500 Kh'e 1 hwr@pilhuhn.ka.sub.org +49 721 693642 I've got an IDEA!!
