The last time I had a bad hard drive, the diagnostic software I got from 
Western Digital saved me a lot of head scratching. If you're brave, you can 
try fsck with the -y argument. I've used that to buy time before. It will at 
least skip over bad sectors and let you use those that are still uncorrupted.

&gt; Guys,

&gt; Recently purchased a Seagate Barracuda IDE drive from CompUSA for use in a
&gt; software RAID-1 array.  Set it up this weekend along with LVM, and
&gt; everything was beautiful.  However, this morning I noticed that it appears
&gt; to have failed (mdadm reports only one drive currently operable).
&gt; /var/log/messages shows the following:
&gt; ----------------------
&gt; Jun  4 18:55:20 localhost kernel: hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady
&gt; SeekComplete Error }
&gt; Jun  4 18:55:21 localhost kernel: hda: dma_intr: error=0x40 {
&gt; UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=152235058, high=9, low=1240114,
&gt; sector=152235058
&gt; Jun  4 18:55:21 localhost kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown
&gt; Jun  4 18:55:21 localhost kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev hda, sector
&gt; 152235058

&gt; Jun  4 18:55:21 localhost kernel:  disk 1, wo:0, o:1, dev:hde1
&gt; Jun  4 18:55:21 localhost kernel: RAID1 conf printout:
&gt; Jun  4 18:55:21 localhost kernel:  --- wd:1 rd:2
&gt; Jun  4 18:55:21 localhost kernel:  disk 1, wo:0, o:1, dev:hde1
&gt; ----------------------
&gt; I'm not very familiar with Linux harddrive error messages, so I'm
&gt; uncertain if this is an occasional expectation or if this is an indication
&gt; that the Seagate (/dev/hda) drive is bad.  I'm still within the time I can
&gt; return it, so this would be valuable knowledge.
&gt;
&gt; I'm googling currently, but if any seasoned drive gurus out can give me a
&gt; definitive answer I'll really appreciate it.
&gt;
&gt; Thanks!
&gt; John
