Hi.

I get the following during high disk activity (fscking etc) from a
"ST31720A, 1626MB w/0kB Cache, CHS=826/64/63" disk:

hdb: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }
hdb: read_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=1643225, sector=1437593
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:42, sector 1437593
hdb: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }
hdb: read_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=1647634, sector=1442002
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:42, sector 1442002

And so on. I'm using a 2.0.35 kernel. Is my disk dying or what?
I haven't noticed any corruption, and the dos on a small partition near the
end of the disk hasn't complained anything.

'hdparm -v' says the following for that disk:

/dev/hdb:
multcount = 0 (off)
I/O support = 0 (default 16-bit)
unmaskirq = 0 (off)
using_dma = 0 (off)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
nowerr = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 8 (on)
geometry = 826/64/63, sectors = 3331852, start = 0

Thanks a lot for your time.
