Re: [gentoo-amd64] fsck seems to screw up my harddisk

[Guido Doornberg]

Hi again,

Well, I downloaded and started a fresh 2006.1 livecd, repartitioned de
hdd, started mke2fs and this time with the -c option.

So, it started checking and after about 15 minutes this kept on
showing up on my screen:

ata1: error=ox40 {uncorrectable error}
ata1: translated ATA stat/err 0X51/40 SCSI SK/ASC/ASCQ 0x3/11/04

after a while i got a couple of other messages,
and now it keeps on talking about Buffer I/O error on device sda3, and
after that various sectors and blocks are called.

I did look after my power supply and I'm for 99% sure that's not the
problem. So, correct me if i'm wrong but that would mean my harddisk
is the problem? But how than is it possible that I can use it normally
if I don't let fsck check it?

I know this isn't really gentoo specific anymore, but if anyone knows
what to do i'm happy to hear it.
