I am getting occasional seek error on my boot drive. The messages are as follows:
pshda: dma_intr: status = 0x51 { Drive ReadySeekComplete Error } hda: dma_intr: error= 0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC } ide: failed opcode was: unknown
Everything seems to be working fine but these errors do have me concerned.
The last time they occurred I was created a fairly large cpio backup file in the '/tmp' directory.
The drive has been checked via fsck, and any errors found were reported to be corrected.
Should I take some kind of action on this, or just ignore the errors?
Try running smartctl -a /dev/hdx against the drive.
