Thank you very much for the pointer. I had never heard of this before but it |
| 7 |
is definitely going on it the future.. It confirms that the disc has 39 bad |
| 8 |
blocks so now I am reading the faq to figure out how to deal with this. :) |

As stated in the original post I am trying to. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
But when I try to copy everything to an external harddrive after some time the |
| 15 |
external harddrive is disconnected. I am not sure if this is a separate issue |
| 16 |
or if it happens as a result of too many errors on my system disk. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Anyway I have backed up everything that cannot be replaced so first I will |
| 19 |
deal with the bad blocks and then if the problem remains I will probably tar |
| 20 |
everything up to my server via ssh.. |

Thanks to you and Boyd for your replies on this too. From Boyd's post I am |
| 27 |
guessing that it works as well as it can work and from yours I am guessing |
| 28 |
that it needs some more configuration than you have done. Not sure though.. |
