    Hey all,
    In WHM under the Server Information tab, the following is displayed for hda:
    hda: max request size: 128KiB
    hda: Host Protected Area detected.
    hda: task_no_data_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
    hda: task_no_data_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
    hda: 78125000 sectors (40000 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=65535/16/63, UDMA(100)
    hda: cache flushes not supported

    should I be worried about this or is this no problem? I do not want my HDD to fail me all of a sudden :(

    Any help would be appreciated.
    Cheers

    How many errors are you getting in your logwatch email
    a manual FSCK may correct

    If you dont have a remote consol or physical access to your server your data center will have to run it for you If you have not seen this error in your logs your hard drive is most likly fine

    access

    Hi dalem,
    thanks for all your help. I have remote root SSH access to the server. So I am assuming that will sacrifise.
    Is the command to run just fsck or do I need to add some switches?
    Cheers.

    ssh will not work our it is not advisable you would want someone watching the progress as after it runs the server may need to be power cycled it it takes 10 to 45 minutes to run and durring that time you would have no accecess i would nerver try and run it that way

    you can run this comand to see if you have any drive problems

    badblocks /dev/yourhd

    Hi __arjun__,
    I have just attempted that and there do not seem to be any errors at all..
    Mind you I am having the server re-installed in the next week or two and I will get them to check the HDD then...
    Thanks for the heads up tho.
    Cheers
